To establish a curated reference dataset and a standardized, sequence-based naming system for fungi that lack formal Latin binomial nomenclature.
Clustered fungal nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences with at least two database entries across 97% to 99% similarity thresholds to generate species hypotheses (SH).
Selected representative reference sequences for each SH and implemented a web-based, third-party annotation platform within the UNITE database to refine metadata.
Assigned stable, accession-style identifiers to all identified species hypotheses to enable unambiguous taxonomic tracking across public databases.
Released curated reference sequence sets integrated into community bioinformatic pipelines such as QIIME for automated sequence similarity matching.
