Fungal DNA standard from Rhizoctonia solani is a genomic DNA microbial standard that can serve as a standard for benchmarking the performance, along the workflow of microbiomics or meta-genomics analyses. It can also be used as a tool to increase reproducibility and allow comparison of results obtained by different labs. Standardization of sample analysis is currently needed in microbiome genomics research workflow. Lack of standardization can lead to biases and errors in common processes during sample preparation and analysis such as sample amplification, sequencing and bioinformatics analyses. Rhizocotonia solani is a fungus that causes disease in plants, belonging to the phylum Basidiomycota. R. solani is a widespread fungus known to cause disease in a a variety of economically important crops including rice, tomato, maize and potato. The human gut is populated by three fungal phyla, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Zygomycota. Read
