Drone imagery and metabarcoding in field diagnostics

This repository contains the supplementary code and intermediary data for the metabarcoding data analysis performed as part of the study 'Drone imagery and metabarcoding as diagnostic tools of poor growth in potato fields' by Persdatter et al.

Content

The repository includes the following contents:

  1. 'analysis' folder: contains scripts and intermediary files used and generated in the analysis. Analysis was largely conducted per primer used in metabarcoding and then synthesized in some higher level analyses. For each primer pair, the following is provided

    • R script for the metabarcoding data analysis, including data preprocessing, diversity analysis, and statistical testing.
    • Intermediary metabarcoding data, including amplicon sequence variants (ASVs), taxonomy, ASV counts for each sample and DADA2 processing logs.
    • Metadata for the samples, including NDVI, and other relevant variables.
  2. 'manuscript files' folder: contains the larger tables presented in the manuscript

  3. 'SRA submission' folder: contains metadata used for submission of reads to NCBI's Short Read Archive

  4. README.md: This file, providing an overview of the repository and instructions for use.

Usage

  1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

    git clone https://gitlab.nibio.no/simeon/persdatter-et-al-2025-metabarcoding.git
  2. Ensure you have the necessary R packages installed. All necessary dependencies required by the analysis scripts are listed in the top chunks of the respective scripts.

  3. Obtain the raw read data from SRA under the BioProject with the accession PRJNA1191665.

  4. Open the R Markdown file and run the code to reproduce the metabarcoding data analysis.
