<ns3:p>Background Access to sample-level metadata is important when selecting public metagenomic sequencing datasets for reuse in new biological analyses. The Standards, Precautions, and Advances Ancient Metagenomics community (SPAAM, https://spaam-community.org) has previously published AncientMetagenomeDir, a collection of curated standardised sample tables microbial genome generated from ancient samples. However, while information useful identifying relevant samples inclusion projects,...
Dental calculus metagenomics has emerged as a valuable tool for studying the oral microbiomes of humans and few select mammals. With increasing interest in wild animal microbiomes, it is important to understand how widely this material can be used across mammalian tree life, refine related protocols expected outcomes potential challenges dental sample processing. In study we significantly expand breadth studied host species, analysing laboratory bioinformatics metadata samples from 32...
Host-associated microbiomes are essential for a multitude of biological processes. Placed at the contact zone between external and internal environments, little-studied oral microbiome has important roles in host physiology health. Here, we investigate evolutionary relationships ecology shaping three closely related gorilla subspecies (mountain, Grauer's, western lowland gorillas) using shotgun metagenomics 46 museum-preserved dental calculus samples. We find that mountain gorillas...
