Workflow for eDNA metabarcoding
Environmental projects that assess biodiversity through eDNA metabarcoding involve several key steps as shown in the following flowchart (Figure 2).
Each of these steps requires the careful selection of suitable methods and technologies. In the following pages you will identify the factors to consider when making these decisions for your project.
