Observation Bias in Metabarcoding
ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding is subject to observation bias associated with PCR and sequencing, which can result in observed read proportions differing from actual species proportions in the DNA extract. Here, we amplify and sequence a mock community of known composition containing marine fishes and cetaceans using four different primer sets and a ...

ABSTRACT Identification of conserved genomic sequences and their utilisation as anchor points for clade detection and/or characterisation is a mainstay in ecological studies. For environmental DNA (eDNA) assays, effective processing of large genomic datasets is crucial for reliable species detection in biodiversity monitoring.
