Ecological Indicators, 2023 Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has been used to study fish diversity in various aquatic ecosystems. However, studies on fish community structure in estuarine ecosystems have not been well corroborated by eDNA metabarcoding, and comparisons with ...

Introducing a novel 28S rRNA marker for improved assessment of coral reef biodiversity. [PDF]
PeerJBiodiversity monitoring based on DNA metabarcoding depends on primer performance. Here, we develop a new metabarcoding primer pair that targets a ∼318 bp fragment of the 28S rRNA gene that is highly conserved across branches of the tree of life. We apply

The power of metabarcoding: Can we improve bioassessment and biodiversity surveys of stream macroinvertebrate communities? [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2021 Most stream bioassessment and biodiversity surveys are currently based on morphological identification of communities. However, DNA metabarcoding is emerging as a fast and cost-effective alternative for species identification. We compared both methods in

Signal and noise in metabarcoding data.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Metabarcoding is a powerful molecular tool for simultaneously surveying hundreds to thousands of species from a single sample, underpinning microbiome and environmental DNA (eDNA) methods.

VTAM: A robust pipeline for validating metabarcoding data using controls
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023 To obtain accurate estimates for biodiversity and ecological studies, metabarcoding studies should be carefully designed to minimize both false positive (FP) and false negative (FN) occurrences.

Scientific Reports, 2022 The soil fauna of the tropics remains one of the least known components of the biosphere. Long-term monitoring of this fauna is hampered by the lack of taxonomic expertise and funding. These obstacles may potentially be lifted with DNA metabarcoding.

Internal transcribed spacer primer evaluation for vascular plant metabarcoding [PDF]
Metabarcoding and Metagenomics, 2021 The unprecedented ongoing biodiversity decline necessitates scalable means of monitoring in order to fully understand the underlying causes. DNA metabarcoding has the potential to provide a powerful tool for accurate and rapid biodiversity monitoring ...
