Genome-scale data and the development of novel statistical phylogenetic approaches have
greatly aided the reconstruction of a broad sketch of the tree of life and resolved many of its …

The recent unprecedented increase in energy demand has led to a growing interest in
emerging alternatives such as the production of microbial lipids with high energy density …

Microbial taxonomy is increasingly influenced by genome-based computational methods.
Yet such analyses can be complex and require expert knowledge. Here we introduce TYGS …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Organisms exhibit extensive variation in ecological niche breadth, from very narrow
(specialists) to very broad (generalists). Two general paradigms have been proposed to …

Fungal diversity notes is one of the important journal series of fungal taxonomy that provide
detailed descriptions and illustrations of new fungal taxa, as well as providing new …

In this review, we discuss the current status and future challenges for fully elucidating the
fungal tree of life. In the last 15 years, advances in genomic technologies have …

Budding yeasts (subphylum Saccharomycotina) are found in every biome and are as
genetically diverse as plants or animals. To understand budding yeast evolution, we …

Although considerable progress has been made in recent years regarding the classification
of bacteria assigned to the phylum Bacteroidetes, there remains a need to further clarify …

Phylogenomic studies have resolved countless branches of the tree of life, but remain
strongly contradictory on certain, contentious relationships. Here, we use a maximum …
