Pre-processing of paleogenomes: Mitigating reference bias and postmortem damage in ancient genome data
2023-11-13
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Ancient DNA analysis is subject to various technical challenges, including bias towards the reference allele (“reference bias”), postmortem damage (PMD) that confounds real variants, and limited coverage. Here, we conduct a systematic comparison of alternative approaches against reference bias and against PMD. To reduce reference bias, we either (a) mask variable sites before alignment or (b) al...
