TH090141

Here we present the novel 'taxon hypothesis' (TH) concept to accommodate fungal 'species hypothesis' (SH) into existing classification frameworks for taxonomic communication. As supplied with Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), THs are flexible in time and enable direct cross-communication of higher level taxa along with evolving classification schemes. Every TH includes given number of SHs and consequently fixed number of fungal rDNA ITS sequences. DNA sequences generated by High-throughput or Sanger sequencing studies and identified against UNITE SHs will be automatically assigned to THs as well.

本文提出了新颖的"分类单元假说（taxon hypothesis, TH）"概念，旨在将真菌"物种假说（species hypothesis, SH）"纳入用于分类学交流的现有分类框架中。配备数字对象标识符（Digital Object Identifier, DOIs）的分类单元假说具备时间灵活性，可支持高级分类单元的直接跨分类学交流，并适配不断演进的分类方案。每个分类单元假说均包含指定数量的物种假说，因此对应固定数量的真菌核糖体DNA转录间隔区（ITS）序列。通过高通量测序或桑格测序获得、并基于UNITE物种假说完成鉴定的DNA序列，也将被自动归类至对应的分类单元假说中。
