TUBB and tinea unguium: Recently, Ropars et al. [50] performed a combined analysis of partial sequences of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene, β-tubulin (TUBB), and elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α) genes for the taxonomic circumscription of Scopulariopsis species, whereas Bontems et al. [51] developed a PCR–RFLP assay, based on 28S rDNA, for identification of fungi, including Scopulariopsis spp., involved in onychomycosis.
