Mining ancient microbiomes using selective enrichment of damaged DNA molecules
Abstract Background The identification of bona fide microbial taxa in microbiomes derived from ancient and historical samples is complicated by the unavoidable mixture between DNA from ante- and post-mortem microbial colonizers. One possibility to distinguish between these sources of microbial DNA i...
