SCiMS: Sex Calling in Metagenomic Sequences

2026-02-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Host sex is a critical determinant of microbial community structure across many host species, influenced by hormonal profiles, physiology, and sex-stratified behaviors. Despite its importance, sex metadata is frequently missing in microbiome studies, including for animal-associated samples. Host chromosomal sex can be inferred from the host-derived reads present in metagenomic data, but existi...
