TH090060

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，用以将真菌“物种假说（species hypothesis, SH）”纳入现有的用于分类学交流的分类框架。配备数字对象标识符（Digital Object Identifiers, DOIs）的TH具备时间灵活性，可实现高级分类单元与演化中分类系统的直接跨域交流。每个TH均包含指定数量的SH，因此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、并已针对UNITE数据库中的SH完成比对鉴定的DNA序列，也将自动被划归至相应的TH中。
