#MetagenomicsMonday🧬Pseudogymnoascus fungi found in Ötzi’s gut! An accidental ingestion? pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

The world’s first de-extincted animals, dire wolf brothers Romulus and Remus, were born on October 1, 2024. They are best buds, growing stronger every day, and they live together on a secure, expansive ecological preserve. And while they’re BFFs, they are being socialized with

If you use Kraken for profiling microbial/environmental/ancient metagenomic data, check this preprint where I benchmark filtering strategies of Kraken output on simulated microbial and environmental metagenomic samples, and provide recommendations for optimal filtering thresholds

In our course on Ancient Metagenomics, you can learn more about this with Nikolay Oskolkov physalia-courses.org/courses-worksh…
