This study compares metabarcoding and individual barcoding of insect samples, finding they yield similar community structure but metabarcoding adds more species due to DNA residues.

The paper introduces CORAL, a transfer learning method that improves prediction and inference for rare species using DNA metabarcoding data from Madagascar.

This paper evaluates SMRT sequencing on the SEQUEL platform for amplicon sequencing, finding it provides more complete coverage and reduces costs compared to Sanger sequencing.
