Five simple guidelines for establishing basic authenticity and reliability of newly generated fungal ITS sequences

Molecular data form an important research tool in most branches of mycology. A non-trivial proportion of the public fungal DNA sequences are, however, compromised in terms of quality and reliability, contributing noise and bias to sequence-borne inferences such as phylogenetic analysis, diversity as...
