Article Synopsis
- DNA metabarcoding is a technique for identifying species in mixed samples using high-throughput sequencing, but traditional methods like Illumina face limitations with short read lengths and longer processing times.
- * Recent research using Oxford Nanopore's technology shows that it can produce accurate metabarcodes for zooplankton samples, achieving an error rate of about 1% through improved sequencing methods.
- * The study concludes that nanopore sequencing offers a fast and reliable alternative for species identification, yielding comparable results to Illumina despite detecting fewer molecular units.
