Among the regions of the ribosomal cistron, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has the highest probability of successful identification for the broadest range of fungi, with the most clearly defined barcode gap between inter- and intraspecific variation.

The phylogenetic relationship among 106 taxa from 12 orders out of 16 in the Sordariomycetes was investigated based on four nuclear loci, and most of the orders are recognized as monophyletic groups.

A reappraisal of the phylogenetic integrity of bitunicate ascomycete fungi belonging to or previously affiliated with the Hysteriaceae, Mytilinidiaceae, Gloniaceae and Patellariaceae is presented,…
Molecular phylogenetics of Pleosporales: Melanommataceae and Lophiostomataceae re-circumscribed (Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota)

Two nuclear DNA gene markers, nuclear ribosomal large subunit DNA and translation elongation factor 1-alpha are employed in order to examine the molecular phylogenetics of Pleosporales with strong emphasis on the families Melanommataceae and Lophiostomataceae.
Fungi evolved right on track

The origin of fungi was re-estimated at between 760 million and 1.06 billion y ago and the origin of the Ascomycota at 500–650 million y ago, much more consistent than previous estimates and much better in line with the fossil record of fungi and plants and the ecological interdependence between filamentous fungi and land plants.
