MaarjAM
Web-based database for studies on the diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota)

MaarjAM is a web-based database containing Glomeromycota DNA sequence data that originate from ecological studies based on “environmental samples” or taxonomic investigations based on cultured fungi. It has the following goals:

  • to bring together published data from studies applying molecular methods to the natural diversity and taxonomy of Glomeromycota;
  • to reclassify existing sequence data and create “virtual taxa” on the basis of a novel phylogenetic analysis. Species (binomial) and “molecular taxa” classifications are also indicated where available;
  • to enable browsing and searching in relation to virtual taxa classification, original species/molecular taxa classifications, and ecological/biogeographic variables, including geographical location, biome and host plant.

Several facets of MaarjAM, such as browsing and simple searches, are made publicly available through this web page. A log-in service is available to advanced users wishing to make use of the following features: DNA sequence and biogeographic data exports, complex searches and submitting data to MaarjAM. If you would like to make use of the log-in service, please contact the database administrator (see Contacts).
