Multiple recent studies have demonstrated the limited utility of morphological methods used singly for species identification of clinically relevant aspergilli. It is being increasingly recognised that comparative sequence based methods used in conjunction with traditional phenotype based methods can offer better resolution of species within this genus. Recognising the growing role of molecular methods in species recognition, the recently convened international working group meeting entitled "Aspergillus Systematics in the Genomic Era" has proposed several recommendations that will be useful in such endeavors. Specific recommendations of this working group include the use of the ITS regions for inter section level identification and the beta-tubulin locus for identification of individual species within the various Aspergillus sections.

临床环境中的曲霉属物种鉴定。

最近的多项研究表明，单独使用形态学方法对临床相关曲霉进行物种鉴定的效用有限。人们越来越认识到，基于比较序列的方法与基于表型的传统方法结合使用可以提供更好的该属物种分辨率。认识到分子方法在物种识别中越来越重要的作用，最近召开的题为“基因组时代的曲霉系统学”的国际工作组会议提出了几项对此类努力有用的建议。该工作组的具体建议包括使用 ITS 区域进行段间级别识别，以及使用 β-微管蛋白位点来识别不同曲霉属部分内的单个物种。
