Evolutionary biology: A kingdom revised
Tom Bruns1
Abstract
An international consortium of researchers has produced an impressive new tree of life for the kingdom Fungi. The results are a testament to cooperation between systematists with different expertise.
On page 818 of this issue, James and colleagues1 provide a landmark study in fungal evolution. Before now, the only broadly sampled phylogenetic trees of the fungi were based on sequences of a single gene — that encoding the small-subunit (18S) ribosomal RNA.
