With high-throughput sequencing (HTS), we are able to explore the hidden world of microscopic
organisms to an unpre-cedented level. The fast development of molecular technology …

High‐throughput metabarcoding studies on fungi and other eukaryotic microorganisms are
rapidly becoming more frequent and more complex, requiring researchers to handle ever …

Micro‐organisms associated with plants and animals affect host fitness, shape community
structure and influence ecosystem properties. Climate change is expected to influence …

Genetic diversity provides the basic substrate for evolution, yet few studies assess the
impacts of global climate change ( GCC ) on intraspecific genetic variation. In this review, we …

November 2020 marked 2 y since the launch of the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), which
aims to sequence all known eukaryotic species in a 10-y timeframe. Since then, significant …

Next generation metabarcoding is becoming an indispensable tool in fungal community
ecology. Here we tested Illumina metabarcoding, a method that generates shorter reads but …

Progress in genome sequencing now enables the large-scale generation of reference genomes.
Various international initiatives aim to generate reference genomes representing global …

The availability of public genomic resources can greatly assist biodiversity assessment,
conservation, and restoration efforts by providing evidence for scientifically informed …

DNA metabarcoding, especially when coupled with high‐through‐put DNA sequencing, is
currently revolutionizing our capacity to assess biodiversity across a full range of taxa and …

Foliar fungal communities of plants are diverse and ubiquitous. In grasses endophytes may
increase host fitness; in trees, their ecological roles are poorly understood. We investigated …
