Capture Probe, Metabarcoding, or Shotgun Sequencing: Which Best Reflects Local Vegetation? - Strandberg - 2026 - Environmental DNA - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Capture Probe, Metabarcoding, or Shotgun Sequencing: Which Best Reflects Local Vegetation?

This study compares three workflows for analyzing sedimentary ancient DNA: metabarcoding, capture probes, and shotgun sequencing. We compare taxa identified by each method from 18 lakes across...
