Barcoding mushrooms with COI conclusions • direct PCR: short regions only, although Long-PCR possible
Barcoding mushrooms with COI conclusions • direct PCR: short regions only, although Long-PCR possible • RT-PCR: feasible, including for sporocarps
Barcoding mushrooms with COI conclusions • direct PCR: short regions only, although Long-PCR possible • RT-PCR: feasible, including for sporocarps • tissue storage in “RNALater” feasible
Barcoding mushrooms with COI conclusions • direct PCR: short regions only, although Long-PCR possible • RT-PCR: feasible, including for sporocarps • tissue storage in “RNALater” feasible • multiple copies; with / without introns
Barcoding mushrooms with COI conclusions • direct PCR: short regions only, although Long-PCR possible • RT-PCR: feasible, including for sporocarps • tissue storage in “RNALater” feasible • multiple copies; with / without introns • intra and interspecies variation? • documenting COI in fungi will serve the universal COI barcode database, but ITS and EF1-alpha are more easily accessible and offer better species-level resolution at least in mushrooms.
