Estimation of the relative abundance of species in artificial mixtures of insects using low-coverage shotgun metagenomics
Amplicon metabarcoding is an established technique to analyse the taxonomic composition of communities of organisms using high-throughput DNA sequencing, but there are doubts about its ability to quantify the relative proportions of the species, as opposed to the species list. Here, we bypass the en...
