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 …

Fungi comprise approximately 20% of all eukaryotic species and are connected to virtually
all life forms on Earth. Yet, their diversity remains contentious, their distribution elusive, and …

Fungal pathogens cause more than a billion human infections every year, resulting in more
than 1.6 million deaths annually. Understanding the natural history and evolutionary ecology …

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 …

Lichens are the symbiotic outcomes of open, interspecies relationships, central to which are
a fungus and a phototroph, typically an alga and/or cyanobacterium. The evolutionary …

Basidiomycota is one of the major phyla in the fungal tree of life. The outline of
Basidiomycota provides essential taxonomic information for researchers and workers in …

Lichens are symbiotic associations resulting from interactions among fungi (primary and
secondary mycobionts), algae and/or cyanobacteria (primary and secondary photobionts) …

Most of the described species in kingdom Fungi are contained in two phyla, the Ascomycota
and the Basidiomycota (subkingdom Dikarya). As a result, our understanding of the biology …

Yeasts, usually defined as unicellular fungi, occur in various fungal lineages. Hence, they
are not a taxonomic unit, but rather represent a fungal lifestyle shared by several unrelated …

EukProt is a database of published and publicly available predicted protein sets selected to
represent the breadth of eukaryotic diversity, currently including 993 species from all major …
