Putting COI Metabarcoding in Context: The Utility of Exact Sequence Variants (ESVs) in Biodiversity Analysis

DNA barcoding and metabarcoding are techniques that focus on signature genomic regions that in theory provide species level resolution, but in practice this is not always possible. We place animal-focused COI metabarcoding in context with respect to the use of marker gene sequencing in microbial and...
