High-throughput sequencing and morphology perform equally well for benthic monitoring of marine ecosystems (18S V4 RNA/DNA MiSeq)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: High-throughput 18S V4 ribosomal DNA and RNA sequences could be used to calculate biotic indices for monitoring the impact of two Scotland salmon fish farms on Metazoa communities. The few species that could be assigned and incorporated in AMBI and ITI indices formulas yielded comparable results than with calculations based in morphological data. For both DNA and RNA extractions performed on 45 sediment samples and cDNA synthesis for RNA, we PCR amplified the 37f hypervariable region of the foramnifera using tagged PCR primers prior to library preparation (TruSeq) and MiSeq paired-end sequencing. The combinations of tagged primers are contained in the paried reads and could be used to assign the sequences the their sample of origin.
