eDNA Taxonomy Pipeline
May 2, 2026
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a ubiquitous method for assessing ecological diversity and detecting species of concern. Yet, vetting of taxonomic assignments often proceeds in a “black box,” lacking reproducibility and requiring labor-intensive quality checks.
This software provides a fully reproducible, automated workflow to generate consensus taxonomies for Exact Sequence Variants (ESVs) using accession matches from NCBI or custom reference libraries.
