Data from: Environmental metabarcodes for insects: in silico PCR reveals potential for taxonomic bias

Reference_sequencesReference DNA sequences for each taxon in the artificial DNA blend used to test the five metabarcoding markers. Sequences were downloaded from GenBank or generated by Sanger or high-throughput sequencing.Enviro metabarcodes for insects PGM dataIon Torrent PGM sequencing reads (FASTQ format) separated by barcode according to marker and PCR protocol (pub - published protocol, 45 - standardised protocol).Enviro metabarcodes for insects PGM demultiplexed reads.zip
