abstract: 'Fungi are ubiquitous in Earth''s wonderfully diverse ecosystems. The ''ClassifyITS''
  package aids in the taxonomic classification of environmental internal transcribed
  spacer (ITS) short-read barcoding data. Unlike previous methods, it employs taxon-specific
  e-value and percent identity cutoffs at each taxonomic rank from kingdom to species.
  The package takes a conservative approach and outputs both graphics and user-friendly
  files to help users manually inspect fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) that
  fail classification at relevant levels (e.g., Phylum). ''ClassifyITS'' is based
  on taxonomic cutoff criteria from "The Global Soil Mycobiome consortium dataset
  for boosting fungal diversity research" (Fungal Diversity, Tedersoo, 2021, <https://doi.org/10.1007/s13225-021-00493-7>)
  and "Best practices in metabarcoding of fungi: From experimental design to results"
  (Molecular Ecology, Tedersoo, 2022, <https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.16460>).'
