Signal and noise in metabarcoding data.
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.

PIMBA: A PIpeline for MetaBarcoding Analysis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Summary DNA metabarcoding is an emerging monitoring method capable of assessing biodiversity from environmental samples (eDNA). Advances in computational tools have been required due to the increase of Next-Generation Sequencing data.

Toward quantitative metabarcoding
Abstract Amplicon-sequence data from environmental DNA (eDNA) and microbiome studies provides important information for ecology, conservation, management, and health. At present, amplicon-sequencing studies – known also as metabarcoding studies, in which the primary data consist of targeted, amplified fragments of DNA sequenced from ...

The power of metabarcoding: Can we improve bioassessment and biodiversity surveys of stream macroinvertebrate communities? [PDF]
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

An Optimized Metabarcoding Method for Mimiviridae [PDF]
Mimiviridae is a group of viruses with large genomes and virions. Ecological relevance of Mimiviridae in marine environments has been increasingly recognized through the discoveries of novel isolates and metagenomic studies. To facilitate ecological profiling of Mimiviridae, we previously proposed a meta-barcoding approach based on 82 degenerate primer

VTAM: A robust pipeline for validating metabarcoding data using controls
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.

Quantification of marine benthic communities with metabarcoding [PDF]
AbstractDNA metabarcoding methods have been implemented in studies aimed at detecting and quantifying marine benthic biodiversity. In such surveys, universal barcodes are amplified and sequenced from environmental DNA. To quantify biodiversity with DNA metabarcoding, a relation between the number of DNA sequences of a species and its biomass and/or the
