Bryn T. M. Dentinger replied to Keith Seifert's discussion 'Defining the boundaries of the ITS barcode' in the group Fungi"right, thanks for pointing out my taxonomic bias! looks like there is no universally constant region within the 28S that could serve as a handle without needing exceptions.
but rather than trimming sequences to within these motifs, what would be…"
Bryn T. M. Dentinger replied to Keith Seifert's discussion 'Defining the boundaries of the ITS barcode' in the group Fungi"we have been routinely trimming our ITS sequences to beginning and ending with the CATTA- and -GACCT motifs. The -GACCT motif can vary a bit depending on which groups you work in (highly variable in Hygrocybe, for instance), but in my experience…"
Bryn T. M. Dentinger replied to Conrad Schoch's discussion 'Comment from Bryn Dentinger' in the group Fungi"Hi Lore,
