Implication

This work developed a specialized reference database to enhance biodiversity assessments using ONT sequencing, highlighting significant taxonomic insights.

Key Points

  • AQUAeD-DB provides more accurate taxonomic assignments than standard databases, improving environmental analyses.
  • The database contains 14,545 clustered 16S sequences, enhancing the recognition of various taxa in seafloor samples.
  • Using seafloor sediment samples, longer ONT reads improved biodiversity assessments compared to conventional methods.
  • The study underscores the importance of targeted reference databases for effective environmental analysis and ONT usage.
