This study benchmarks species classification of fungal ITS metabarcodes using ONT long-read sequencing, showing that threshold-based and machine learning classifiers outperform others in accuracy and consistency.

This study develops a diagnostic method using mating-type HD locus alleles to identify new incursions of the myrtle rust pathogen Austropuccinia psidii.

The paper compares methods for identifying fungal species from sequencing data and finds that aligning sequences to a fungi-specific database with coverage cutoffs improves accuracy.
