The researchers analysed hundreds of genes to determine where the newly discovered fungus Semicentenialea rex belongs in the fungal tree of life. The results show that S. rex, previously known as GS25, forms a distinct lineage within the Pucciniomycotina. To confirm its placement, genes from both closely related and more distantly related fungi were compared, including species from both the Basidiomycota and the Ascomycota.

Figure 1. Phylogenetic placement of HU4064. Best maximum likelihood (ML) tree from a concatenated alignment of 287 BUSCO genes shared among at least 12 taxa. The numbers on the branches indicate bootstrap support (BS) from the ML analysis, local posterior probabilities (LPP) and quartet scores from the ASTRAL analysis (BS/LPP/quartet score). Missing values indicate no support for that relationship in the ASTRAL analysis. The tree includes 16 taxa of Pucciniomycotina, Semicentenialea rex sp. nov. (HU4064) previously known as GS25, as well as eight outgroup taxa representing the subphyla Ustilaginomycotina (Basidiomycota; Tilletiaria anomola, Violaceomyces palustris, Jaminaea rosea), Agaricomycotina (Basid­iomycota; Wallemia sebi, Guyanagaster necrorhizus), Saccharomycotina (Ascomycota; Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Taphrino­mycotina (Ascomycota; Taphrina deformans), and Pezizomycotina (Ascomycota; Penicillium chrysogenum).
