2000-year-old pathogen genomes reconstructed from metagenomic analysis of Egyptian mummified individuals

Abstract Background Recent advances in sequencing have facilitated large-scale analyses of the metagenomic composition of different samples, including the environmental microbiome of air, water, and soil, as well as the microbiome of living humans and other animals. Analyses of the microbiome of anc...
