DNA base sequence complementarity and the definition of fungal taxa.
Molecular techniques have demonstrated the inadequacies of many criteria traditionally used to separate fungal taxa. Whole genome DNA complementarity studies offer resolution to the species level, whereas the phylogenetic relationships of genera and even subclasses may be determined from the sequences of ribosomal RNA.
