A rapid and inexpensive universal PCR protocol for DNA (meta)barcoding using a one-tube, 2-step PCR

Olivier Collard, Mohammed M.Tawfeeq, Hugo Ducret, Jean‐François Flot

The paper introduces a rapid, inexpensive, single-tube two-step PCR protocol for DNA barcoding and metabarcoding that improves PCR product yield compared to a one-step protocol.
