Overview of DNA metabarcoding workflow. The target gene marker is amplified using PCR with sample-specific barcodes and analyzed by nanopore sequencing. After demultiplexing, the reads are quality and size filtered, clustered, and polished for consensus calling. The resulting highly accurate consensus sequences are aligned against the reference genomes for taxonomic assignment. Fw, forward primer; Rv, reverse primer; hac, high accuracy.
