On the relationship between protist metabarcoding and protist metagenome-assembled genomes

Abstract The two most commonly used approaches to study the composition of environmental protist communities are marker gene metabarcoding and whole genome analysis through metagenomics. Raw metabarcoding data are usually processed into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) or amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) through clustering or denoising approaches, respectively. Analogous approaches have…
