Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) reportedly has multiple copies in the fungal genome. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in rDNA is useful for investigating relationships between close taxonomic relatives. Thus, ITS has been widely used as a target gene in medical mycology for the detection of pathogenic fungi and identification of fungal species. However, the rDNA copy number in a genome of Trichophyton interdigitale, the pathogen causing dermatophytosis, currently remains unknown.
