Geographically-Conscious Taxonomic Assignment for Metabarcoding

A bioinformatics pipeline for performing taxonomic assignment of DNA metabarcoding sequence data while considering geographic location. A detailed tutorial is available at < https://urodelan.github.io/LocaTT_Tutorial/>. A manuscript describing these methods is in preparation.

Local Taxa Tool (LocaTT)

The Local Taxa Tool (LocaTT, pronounced “locate”) is an R package for performing taxonomic assignment of DNA metabarcoding sequence data while considering geographic location. A detailed tutorial is available at https://urodelan.github.io/LocaTT_Tutorial/.
