The role of internal transcribed spacer 2 secondary structures in classifying mycoparasitic Ampelomyces [PDF]
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. The internal transcribed spacer region is the preferred DNA barcode for fungi.
