Benchmarking UMI-based and Raw Read Nanopore Sequencing for Fungal eDNA Metabarcoding

Long-read fungal metabarcoding sequences from dead wood eDNA samples (Sonian Forest, Belgium, 2021), generated on Oxford Nanopore platforms with Unique Molecular Identifiers (UMIs). Data support the manuscript: Do we need Unique Molecular Identifiers in Nanopore metabarcoding? Evaluating the necessity and ecological impact of UMI-based consensus sequencing in environmental DNA studies.
