The core concept of DNA barcoding is simple—a taxonomically unknown specimen can be identified by sequencing and then comparing a particular DNA region (a barcode) against a reference database containing these same DNA regions for known taxonomy. DNA metabarcoding is a combination of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and DNA barcoding. Using the same reference databases, this particular approach builds on traditional DNA barcoding but enables simultaneous high-throughput multi-taxa identification by using the extracellular and/or total DNA extracted from complex samples containing DNA from different origins. 3, record 1, English, - deoxyribonucleic%20acid%20metabarcoding
