Efficient and stable metabarcoding sequencing data using a DNBSEQ-G400 sequencer validated by comprehensive community analyses

Metabarcoding is a widely used method for fast characterization of microbial communities in complex environmental samples. However, the selction of sequencing platform can have a noticeable effect on the estimated community composition. Here, we evaluated the metabarcoding performance of a DNBSEQ-G400 sequencer developed by MGI Tech using 16S and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) markers to investigate bacterial and fungal mock communities, as...
