The paper introduces MAP, a metabarcoding pipeline that handles long-read data and provides accurate biodiversity estimates, outperforming existing platforms for COI metabarcoding.

The paper introduces BIP, a pipeline for DNA barcode inference from sequencing data, which outperforms existing tools by accurately distinguishing target and non-target sequences.

The paper tests the performance of Qitan Technology's nanopore sequencer, finding it generates accurate DNA barcodes at a lower cost than Oxford Nanopore Technologies' sequencer.

This study finds that haplodiploid insect lineages exhibit higher rates of amino acid substitution and more frequent indels in the COI gene compared to diploid lineages.
