We have already used metaGEM to assemble MAGs from ancient samples, e.g. see zenodo repo & github issue.
A tool like pydamage requires an alignment file generated by mapping short reads to an assembly, and could be integrated into the metaGEM workflow in a number of ways:
- At the assembly level when running the
crossMap rule
- At the MAG level when running the
abundance rule
- At the MAG level as a new standalone
pyamage rule
