#PETE DROGE PLEASE THE GHOST ON YOUTUBE VERIFICATION#
Issues of pairwise sequence similarity-based identifications and OTU clustering are discussed, and multiple sequence alignment-based phylogenetic approaches with subsequent verification are recommended as more accurate alternatives. Secondary DNA barcodes are increasingly implemented for groups where ITS does not provide sufficient precision. Because of clade-specific evolutionary histories, there is currently no single tool for the identification of fungi, although DNA barcoding using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) remains a first diagnosis, particularly in metabarcoding studies.
Verification of identifications is crucial but often neglected. This allows objective evaluation of diagnostic characters, either phenotypic or molecular or both. the combination of genealogy (phylogeny), phenotype (including autecology), and reproductive biology (when feasible). Here we provide a conceptual framework for the identification of fungi, encouraging the approach of integrative (polyphasic) taxonomy for species delimitation, i.e.
This poses challenges for accurate and precise identifications. Compared to plants and animals, fungi have simple body plans with often morphologically and ecologically obscure structures. Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 million predicted species. True fungi ( Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (e.g.
