Wadeable stream benthic algae samples collected during annual surveys. DNA sequenced to compare DNA and morphology-based taxonomy.. California algae DNA samples

Paired benthic algae DNA and morphology samples were collected in wadeable streams throughout California as part of annual sampling campaigns. DNA metabarcode sequencing targeting the 16S, 18S, and rbcL regions were used to identify algae species present for comparison to microscopy-based taxonomy.作为年度采样计划的一部分，研究人员在加利福尼亚州全境的可涉水溪流中采集了成对的底栖藻类DNA与形态学样本。针对16S、18S及rbcL区域的DNA元条形码测序（DNA metabarcode sequencing）被用于鉴定样本中的藻类物种，以与基于显微镜的分类学结果开展比对。
