Internal transcribed spacer dimorphism and diversity in Dientamoeba fragilis.
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2006 The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal RNA operon is frequently used for detecting sequence variation among closely related species as it is usually homogeneous within strains but evolves more rapidly than ribosomal RNA coding ...

A Meta-Analysis of the Human Gut Mycobiome Using Internal Transcribed Spacer Data [PDF]
MicroorganismsThe intestinal mycobiome is closely related to human health. There have been several reports investigating the association between the gut fungi and disease, but there is still a lack of overall assessment of the human gut mycobiome. Here, we performed a

The role of internal transcribed spacer 2 secondary structures in classifying mycoparasitic Ampelomyces. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Many fungi require specific growth conditions before they can be identified. Direct environmental DNA sequencing is advantageous, although for some taxa, specific primers need to be used for successful amplification of molecular markers.
