Raw FASTQ files and Updated database for amplicons taxonomic assignment

This study demonstrated that eDNA metabarcoding, based on the universal plastid amplicon (UPA) and and part of the large nuclear ribosomal subunit (LSU) molecular markers, could successfully differentiate coastal biotic communities among littoral zones and geographical locations along the shoreline of the Northern Gulf of Mexico

本研究证实，基于通用质体扩增子（UPA）与部分核核糖体大亚基（LSU）分子标记的环境DNA宏条形码测序（eDNA metabarcoding）技术，可有效区分墨西哥湾北部沿岸潮间带不同区域及沿岸不同地理位置间的海岸生物群落。
