Abstract Metabarcoding is a promising tool for biodi-

versity inventories and other applications in conservation

genetics. We developed a new pair of primers for efficient

and affordable high-throughput analysis of a 250 base pair

stretch of DNA from the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene of

vertebrates, especially amphibians and fishes. By adapting

a double-indexed protocol for Illumina platforms, our

approach allows pooling of hundreds of samples in a single

sequencing run. We obtained high detection rates of

82–93 % for fish in two German streams, 70 % for mock

mixes of DNA from amphibians and fishes, and could

distinguish multiple gene copies in amphibians, probably

caused by nuclear-mitochondrial transposed DNA or

heteroplasmy.

Dear Kathryn,

You may find the following pre-print of our group useful: https://peerj.com/preprints/2044/

The BF2+BR2 are great, or the BF1+BR2 in combination.

You can also use the new PrimerMiner software (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12687/abstract?wol1URL=/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12687/abstract&identityKey=e14200f3-8855-4698-94a3-ad73c1b2b217) to specifically check for primers matching your target taxa (if known). 

The primers from the papers above may not be optimal (the first ref is for vertebrates, the second is from our paper on amphipods and primers may not be degenerated enough).

Best wishes
