Using Gap Visualization to Navigate Multivariate Metabarcode Data, Select Primer Pairs, and Enhance Reference Data Quality

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
We introduce the metabarcoding gap visualization and demonstrated how it can make comparisons of PCR primers rapidly comprehensible for researchers in the molecular ecology community. We use gap visualization to simultaneously interrogate multiple primer pairs and enhance reference data quality. This has significant impact for study design as selecting
