S&T Project 1831 Final Report: Investigation of DNA metabarcoding for macroinvertebrate surveys and invasive species detection

Published by Bureau of Reclamation | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 05:29 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 11, 2020 at 09:51 PM
DNA metabarcoding is a rapidly developing technique for rapidly surveying entire communities of organisms from individual environmental samples. Metabarcoding was tested for macroinvertebrate surveys and for detection of invasive species, including quagga mussel. Results were compared to traditional methods. Metabarcoding has significant potential, but this study demonstrated that carful planning and assay validation will be key to the successful adoption of this technique.
