decOM: Similarity-based microbial source tracking of ancient oral samples using k-mer-based methods

2023-01-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The analysis of ancient oral metagenomes from archaeological human and animal samples is largely confounded by contaminant DNA sequences from modern and environmental sources. Existing methods for Microbial Source Tracking (MST) estimate the proportions of environmental sources, but do not perform well on ancient metagenomes. We developed a novel method called decOM for Microbial Source Tracki...
