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

Abstract Background 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,...
