High throughput sequencing of PCR amplicons derived from environmental DNA (aka DNA
metabarcoding) has become an integral part of fungal ecology, enabling in-depth …

Traditional culture-based methods have incompletely defined the microbial landscape of
common recalcitrant human fungal skin diseases, including athlete's foot and toenail …
