UNITE is a rDNA sequence database designed to provide a stable and reliable platform for sequence-borne identification of ectomycorrhizal asco- and basidiomycetes. It has many of the characteristics of other sequence databases, but one of the things that sets UNITE apart from these is sequence reliability. We aim at including only high-quality sequences of well identified fungi, hence initially sacrifying quantity for quality. The sequences are primarily generated from fruiting-bodies collected and identified by specialists; the fruiting-bodies are deposited in public herbaria and type specimens are used whenever possible. Sequences generated from cultures and from soil- or root samples are however also accepted to enable ecological surveys and comparisons. The database initially holds sequences from the ITS region. This highly variable locus has proved a valuable information source when it comes to species identification. We aim to cover more loci in the future.
