Fungi are major ecological players in both terrestrial and aquatic environments by cycling
organic matter and channelling nutrients across trophic levels. High-throughput sequencing …

Fungi are morphologically, ecologically, metabolically, and phylogenetically diverse. They
are known to produce numerous bioactive molecules, which makes them very useful for …

Background Taxonomic classification of marker-gene sequences is an important step in
microbiome analysis. Results We present q2-feature-classifier (https://github. com/qiime2/q2 …

Nucleotide sequence and taxonomy reference databases are critical resources for
widespread applications including marker-gene and metagenome sequencing for …

True fungi (Fungi) and fungus-like organisms (eg Mycetozoa, Oomycota) constitute the
second largest group of organisms based on global richness estimates, with around 3 …

Roots of healthy plants are inhabited by soil-derived bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes that
have evolved independently in distinct kingdoms of life. How these microorganisms interact …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Metagenomics experiments often characterize microbial communities by sequencing the
ribosomal 16S and ITS regions. Taxonomy prediction is a fundamental step in such studies …

The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Background Microbiome studies often involve sequencing a marker gene to identify the
microorganisms in samples of interest. Sequence classification is a critical component of this …
