| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research project, I developed a pipeline for detecting prey DNA in predator samples through high-throughput DNA barcoding based on next-generation sequencing. The pipeline consists of improved methods of sampling, DNA extraction, PCR, next-generation sequencing, bioinformatics, and community ecological statistical analyses. Because the pipeline is based on the universal DNA barcoding system (http://www.claident.org/), it is applicable to various types of interspecific interaction systems (e.g., food webs) involving various taxonomic groups of organisms.
