Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...

Rumen fluke in Irish sheep: prevalence, risk factors and molecular identification of two paramphistome species [PDF]

, 2016
peer-reviewedBackground Rumen flukes are trematode parasites found globally; in tropical and sub-tropical climates, infection can result in paramphistomosis, which can have a deleterious impact on livestock. In Europe, rumen fluke is not

Using internally transcribed spacer 2 sequences to re-examine the taxonomic status of several cryptic species of Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2004
Mass releases of Trichogramma confusum Viggiani and T. maidis Pintureau & Voegele are widely used to control lepidopterous pests. They have long been considered to be the subspecies of T. chilonis Ishii and T. brassicae Bezdenko, respectively.

DNA barcoding reveals the coral “laboratory-rat”, Stylophora pistillata encompasses multiple identities [PDF]

, 2013
Stylophora pistillata is a widely used coral “lab-rat” species with highly variable morphology and a broad biogeographic range (Red Sea to western central Pacific).

The phylogenetic structure of plant communities drives the belowground transmission of fungal pathogens

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Biodiversity is known to influence disease risk, yet the pathways of pathogen transmission within plant communities remain poorly understood, especially belowground. In particular, how soil‐borne pathogens move from resident vegetation and soil to colonize new hosts is unresolved.

Evaluation of ITS2 for intraspecific identification of Paeonia lactiflora cultivars

Biotechnology Reports, 2017
Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.) is an important ornamental and medicinal plant. DNA barcodes can reveal species identity via the nucleotide diversity of short DNA segments. In this study, two main candidate DNA barcodes (ITS2 and psbA-trnH) were tested to identify twenty-one cutting cultivars of P. lactiflora and their wild species.

Collection of ITS2 region reference sequences for freshwater fish in the Japanese archipelago for environmental DNA metabarcoding applications [PDF]

Metabarcoding and Metagenomics
To enhance taxonomic resolution in environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, we evaluated the utility of the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region.

Crinoid phylogeny: a preliminary analysis (Echinodermata: Crinoidea) [PDF]

, 2004
We describe the first molecular and morphological analysis of extant crinoid high-level inter-relationships. Nuclear and mitochondrial gene sequences and a cladistically coded matrix of 30 morphological characters are presented, and analysed by ...

Long‐term effects of clear‐cutting forestry on ectomycorrhizal fungi in boreal forest

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Clear‐cutting is detrimental to ectomycorrhizal fungi in a short time perspective, but long‐term effects on species richness and community composition are uncertain. To evaluate ecological sustainability of rotation forestry, we examined to what extent communities similar to those in old forests develop within the time frame of a rotation ...

A close-up view on ITS2 evolution and speciation - a case study in the Ulvophyceae (Chlorophyta, Viridiplantae)

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011
Background The second Internal Transcriber Spacer (ITS2) is a fast evolving part of the nuclear-encoded rRNA operon located between the 5.8S and 28S rRNA genes.
