TH090071

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.

本研究提出全新的分类单元假说（taxon hypothesis, TH）概念，用于将真菌物种假说（species hypothesis, SH）适配至现有的分类学交流框架中。搭配数字对象标识符（Digital Object Identifiers, DOIs）使用的分类单元假说具备时间灵活性，可实现高阶分类单元的直接跨分类学交流，并适配不断演进的分类体系。每个分类单元假说均包含指定数量的物种假说，进而对应固定数量的真菌核糖体DNA内转录间隔区（rDNA ITS）序列。通过高通量测序或桑格测序获得、且已基于UNITE物种假说完成比对鉴定的DNA序列，也将自动归入相应的分类单元假说之中。
