Combining Multiple Markers in Environmental DNA Metabarcoding to Assess Deep-Sea Benthic Biodiversity

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an emerging tool to estimate diversity by combining DNA from the environmental samples and the high-throughput sequencing. Despite its wide use in estimating eukaryotic diversity, many factors may bias the results. Maker choice and reference databases are am...
