Culturomics has been temporarily exceeded by the advent of omics approaches such as metabarcoding and metagenomics. However, despite improving our knowledge of microbial population composition, both metabarcoding and metagenomics are not suitable for investigating and experimental testing inferences about microbial ecological roles and evolution. This leads to a recent revival of culturomics approaches, which should be supported by improvements in the available tools for high-throughput microbial identification. This study aimed to update the classical PCR-RFLP approach in light of the currently available knowledge on yeast genomics. We generated and analyzed a database including more than 1400 ascomycetous yeast species, each characterized by PCR-RFLP profiles obtained with 143 different endonucleases. The results allowed for the in silico evaluation of the performance of the tested endonucleases in the yeast species' identification and the generation of FId (Fungal Identifier), an online freely accessible tool for the identification of yeast species according to experimentally obtained PCR-RFLP profiles.
宏条形码和宏基因组学等组学方法的出现暂时超越了文化组学。然而,尽管宏条形码和宏基因组学提高了我们对微生物种群组成的认识,但它们都不适用于研究和实验测试关于微生物生态作用和进化的推断。这导致了文化组学方法最近的复兴,而这应该得到高通量微生物鉴定现有工具改进的支持。本研究旨在根据目前关于酵母基因组学的现有知识更新经典的PCR-RFLP方法。我们生成并分析了一个包含1400多种子囊菌酵母物种的数据库,每个物种都有通过143种不同内切酶获得的PCR-RFLP图谱特征。结果允许对测试内切酶在酵母物种鉴定中的性能进行计算机模拟评估,并生成FId(真菌标识符),这是一个可在线免费访问的工具,用于根据实验获得的PCR-RFLP图谱鉴定酵母物种。
