Multi-species ('metabarcoding') insights
Learn more about what's included in your NatureMetrics multi-species ('metabarcoding') eDNA insights
Each set of multi-species ('metabarcoding') insights are comprised of:
- Interactive data visualizations powered by the NatureMetrics Intelligence Platform, plus
- Excel containing DNA sequences, taxonomic details, metrics and QC info
Turnaround time: 8 working weeks from receipt of your completed Sample Manifest and all samples included in your order. We cannot start processing your samples until the Sample Manifest is completed in full. Please familiarise yourself with the Sample Manifest before taking your samples in the field.
Content is optimised for each test: Please see table of contents below for details of the metrics included in the insights for each test.

*Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (griis.org)
**CHEGD stands for: Clavarioids (spindles, club and coral fungi); Hygrocybe genus (waxcaps); Entoloma (pinkgills); Geoglossum and relatives (earthtongues); and Dermoloma and relatives (crazed caps). Nearly 90 per cent of all waxcap species are on one or more European national Red Lists for threatened fungi.
