This release includes "soibean", a tool designed for the species identification of a pre-analysed ancient environmental DNA sample.
- "soibean" identifies species, a mix of species as well as potential ancestral states of modern references from a FASTQ-file of reads that have been classified to a lower taxonomic resolution (e.g. family level)
- "soibean" uses an MCMC sampling algorithm to find the most likely position on a phylogenetic tree for a species or multiple closely related species in a given sample.
- At the current time, we are restricted to mitochondrial genomes from Tetrapoda and Arthropoda
Please note, if you would like to use euka with the new release, it is necessary to redownload euka's graph files as described in the README.
