Comparing the Performance of Double-Stranded and Single-Stranded DNA Libraries for Ancient Oral Microbiome Reconstruction. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT DNA library construction methods can affect the recovery of ancient DNA, thus influencing downstream analyses. While single‐stranded library preparation (ssLib) has been shown to outperform double‐stranded (dsLib) for highly degraded vertebrate host DNA, especially for samples older than 40,000 years, few studies have examined how library ...
