Comparing metabarcoding and morphological approaches to identify phytoplankton taxa associated with harmful algal blooms

Comparing metabarcoding and morphological approaches to identify phytoplankton taxa associated with harmful algal blooms

Molecular techniques are expected to be highly useful in detecting taxa causing harmful algal blooms (HABs). This is the first report in Canada evaluating HABs-related species identification using a combination of morphological and molecular approaches. Microscopy, quantitative polymerase chain reac...
