The paper identifies 25 novel phyla in the eukaryotic tree of life through global environmental DNA surveys and proposes formal names for 150 species.

The paper benchmarks full-length ITS metabarcoding across Illumina, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore platforms using mock and soil communities, finding PacBio has the lowest error rate and recommends standard pipelines for biodiversity assessments.

This study evaluates how soil sampling design and processing affect biodiversity estimates, finding significant variation in diversity metrics based on subsample numbers and pooling strategies.

This study compares PacBio long-read HTS and Sanger sequencing for fungal DNA barcoding, finding PacBio more efficient and cost-effective for species identification and allele polymorphism detection.
