Photobiont-mediated guilds in green algal lichens – an insight into the life of terrestrial symbiotic communities

Multiple alignment of the ITS rDNA locus sequences built using MAFFT v6, applying the Q-INS-i strategy, and improved by eliminating the ambiguously aligned regions using Gblocks v. 0.91b. Positions included in subsequent evolutionary analyses are indicated by mask.

ITS核糖体DNA（ITS rDNA）基因座序列的多重比对通过MAFFT v6软件、采用Q-INS-i策略构建完成，并借助Gblocks v. 0.91b软件移除歧义比对区域以优化比对结果。后续进化分析所纳入的序列位点均以掩码（mask）标注。
