eDNA metabarcoding is a unique method still in development and will likely remain in flux for some time as technology advances and procedures become standardized. However, as metabarcoding is optimized and its use becomes more widespread, it is likely to become an essential tool for ecological monitoring and global conservation study. 2, record 1, English, - environmental%20DNA%20metabarcoding

[…] une nouvelle technique appelée métacodage de l'ADN environnemental. Cette technique utilise des échantillons environnementaux en vrac pour identifier les espèces selon leurs séquences génomiques particulières («codes à barres» de l'ADN), obtenues au moyen des technologies de séquençage à haut débit. 2, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9tacodage%20%C3%A0%20barres%20de%20l%27ADN%20environnemental
