Micropsalliota Fungal DNA Sequences from Dhofar, Oman

A 380.0 KB dataset of combined DNA sequence data for the fungal genus Micropsalliota, published by Shah Hussain on figshare in May 2026. It includes sequences for the ITS, 28S, rpb2, and tif1-α gene regions from specimens collected in the Dhofar region of southern Oman.

Use Cases

• Constructing phylogenetic trees based on multi-gene sequence data.
• Taxonomic classification of Micropsalliota species using ITS and 28S rRNA gene markers.
• Species delimitation analysis leveraging protein-coding genes like rpb2 and tif1-α.
• Comparing genetic diversity of fungi from the Dhofar region, Oman.

Strengths

• Combines sequence data from four genetic markers (ITS, 28S, rpb2, tif1-α) for multi-locus analysis.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Focuses on a specific geographic region (Dhofar, Oman) and fungal genus (Micropsalliota).

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (380.0 KB), indicating a limited scope.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data structure requires manual inspection after download.
