TY - T1 - Metabarcoding successfully tracks temporal changes in eukaryotic communities in coastal sediments SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/309061 T3 - A1 - Salonen, I. S.; Chronopoulou, P.-M.; Leskinen, E.; Koho, K. A. A2 - PB - Y1 - 2019 LA - eng AB - Metabarcoding is a method that combines high-throughput DNA sequencing and DNA-based identification. Previously, this method has been successfully used to target spatial variation of eukaryote communities in marine sediments, however, the temporal changes in these communities remain understudied. Here, we follow the temporal changes of the eukaryote communities in Baltic Sea surface sediments collected from two coastal localities during three seasons of two consecutive years. Our study reveals t...
