Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is a method for the simultaneous detection of target taxa and is currently applied to the monitoring of various organisms. In eDNA metabarcoding, differences in data compatibility and performance between high throughput sequencers (HTSs) could potentially influence the output of eDNA data. Thus, we performed eDNA metabarcoding for various taxonomic groups (fish, bird, mammal, aquatic insect) using the MiSeq i100 system and evaluated the compatibility between previous Illumina HTS systems (iSeq 100, MiSeq). In this presentation, we would like to show the results obtained from river water samples.

Next generation sequencers can determine millions to trillions of base sequences in a single run. Since their introduction in the 2000s, they have been utilized not only in life sciences but also across various fields including medicine, agriculture, and fisheries.

　In this presentation, I will introduce new product information, including sequencing reagents newly launched for the MiSeq i100 series, which I presented at last year's eDNA Conference.
