Fungal infections are a major health threat with high mortality and costs. Fast identification of a causative agent is required to initiate correct treatment to maximise disease outcome. Short DNA sequences – DNA barcodes – offer a fast accurate identification. This grant sets out to establish a dual-locus barcode scheme, build a reference database, adapt the scheme to new sequencing technologies and to facilitate sequence-based fungal identification in the routine diagnostic laboratory.

真菌感染是一个主要的健康威胁，具有高死亡率和高成本。需要快速识别病原体，以启动正确的治疗，以最大限度地提高疾病的结果。短DNA序列- DNA条形码-提供快速准确的识别。该资助旨在建立一个双位点条形码计划，建立一个参考数据库，使该计划适应新的测序技术，并促进常规诊断实验室中基于序列的真菌鉴定。
