Quantification of marine benthic communities with metabarcoding [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2021 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

PIMBA: A PIpeline for MetaBarcoding Analysis [PDF]
, 2021 ABSTRACTSummaryDNA 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. Tools for DNA metabarcoding analysis, such as MOTHUR, QIIME, Obitools, and mBRAVE have been widely used in ...
