Sizing up Septoria

TL;DR: This paper is a compilation of notes on 142 fungal taxa, including five new families, 20 new genera, and 100 new species, representing a wide taxonomic and geographic range.

TL;DR: This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi), and treats 19 phyla of fungi, including all currently described orders of fungi.

TL;DR: This paper is a compilation of notes on 110 fungal taxa, including one new family, 10 new genera, and 76 new species, representing a wide taxonomic and geographic range.

TL;DR: One new genus, 26 new species, ten new combinations, and four typifications of older names are introduced to provide a stable platform for the taxonomy of phytopathogenic fungi.

Abstract: Comparative studies of the nucleotide sequences of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes provide a means for analyzing phylogenetic relation­ ships over a wide range of taxonomic levels (Woese and Olsen 1986; Zimmer et al 1988; Medlin et al 1988; Jorgensen and Cluster 1989). The nuclear small-subunit rDNA sequences (16S-like) evolve rela­ tively slowly and are useful for studying distantly related organisms, whereas the mitochondrial rRNA genes evolve more rapidly and can be useful at the ordinal or family level. The internal transcribed spacer region and intergenic spacer of the nuclear rRNA repeat units evolve fastest and may vary among species within a genus or among populations.

TL;DR: The program MRBAYES performs Bayesian inference of phylogeny using a variant of Markov chain Monte Carlo, and an executable is available at http://brahms.rochester.edu/software.html.

TL;DR: A simplified scoring system is proposed that performs well for reducing CPU time and increasing the accuracy of alignments even for sequences having large insertions or extensions as well as distantly related sequences of similar length.
