Metagenomic analysis of ancient dental calculus reveals unexplored diversity of oral archaeal Methanobrevibacter [PDF]
Microbiome, 2021 Background Dental calculus (mineralised dental plaque) preserves many types of microfossils and biomolecules, including microbial and host DNA, and ancient calculus are thus an important source of information regarding our ancestral human oral microbiome.

Dental calculus as a proxy for animal microbiomes. [PDF]
Quat Int, 2023 The field of dental calculus research has exploded in recent years, predominantly due to the multitude of studies related to human genomes and oral pathogens. Despite having a subset of these studies devoted to non-human primates, little progress has been made in the distribution of oral pathogens across domestic and wild animal populations.

Preservation of the metaproteome: variability of protein preservation in ancient dental calculus [PDF]
Science and Technology of Archaeological Research, 2017 Proteomic analysis of dental calculus is emerging as a powerful tool for disease and dietary characterisation of archaeological populations. To better understand the variability in protein results from dental calculus, we analysed 21 samples from three ...
