Larvacean DNA was more frequent in predator gut contents than in water samples. “The 18S rRNA V9 region was amplified using eukaryotic universal primers 1389F and 1510R.”"]]
- Edgar ([[2018|biblio/29506021]] proposes to raise the threshold to 99% or to
just use sequence variants (also called ZOTUS, Zero-radius OTUs.
