Estimation of 18S Gene Copy Number in Marine Eukaryotic Plankton Using a Next-Generation Sequencing Approach (2019, background): “Due to its high specificity and sequence conservation, the 18S rRNA gene has become the most commonly used marker to explore eukaryotic protist community structure in both aquatic and terrestrial environments (Countway et al., 2005; de Vargas et al., 2015).”
The biomass distribution on Earth (2018, methodology): “This is inline with recent metabarcoding survey of eukaryotic diversity in the sunlit ocean has not identified fungi as a major constituent of the plankton community (130).”
Metacoder: An R package for visualization and manipulation of community taxonomic diversity data (2016, methodology): “It has been used extensively to explore communities inhabiting diverse environments, including oceans 24 [2], plants [3], animals [4], humans [5], and soil [6].”
Genetic and Manual Survey Methods Yield Different and Complementary Views of an Ecosystem (2017, result): “…of assessing the performance of the DNA surveys is to compare sequencing results to a known community (Kelly et al., 2014a; Evans et al., 2016) or to compare eDNA results to those from a traditional sampling technique (Lacoursière-Roussel et al., 2015; de Vargas et al., 2015; Port et al., 2016).”
Inordinate Fondness Multiplied and Redistributed: the Number of Species on Earth and the New Pie of Life (2017, background): “Recently, de Vargas et al. (2015) estimated 150,000 putative species of planktonic eukaryotes in the marine photic zone globally, of which 85% were protists.”
Toward a global reference database of COI barcodes for marine zooplankton (2021, methodology): “Metabarcoding using hypervariable regions of the nuclear 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene has been used for detection of marine microbial diversity (Amaral-Zettler et al. 2009; DeVargas et al. 2015).”
