Abstract

The taxonomic identification of mycelial fungal strains from the collection of the NRC «Kurchatov Institute» – VIAM was carried out using methods of genome-wide taxonomy. The taxonomic classification was performed at the Kurchatov Genomic Center using two approaches: genomic signature analysis and a full-fledged phylogenetic analysis of 255 marker single-copy eukaryotic genes. This article presents data from phylogenetic analysis of strains based on sequences of universal eukaryotic marker genes of the following fungi: order Glomerellales, genus Colletotrichum; the family Pleosporaceae; the genera Curvularia and Alternaria, the genus Aspergillus, and representatives of new orders of the class Sordariomycetes.
