Do pseudogenes pose a problem for metabarcoding marine animal communities?
2021-09-27
Abstract excerpt
Because DNA metabarcoding typically employs sequence diversity among mitochondrial amplicons to estimate species composition, nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes (NUMTs) can inflate diversity. This study quantifies the incidence and attributes of NUMTs derived from the 658 bp barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) in 156 marine animal genomes. The number of NUMTs meeting four length criteria (>150 bp, >300 b...
