Thrilled to see this out in Bioinformatics! AdDeam is a powerful tool to rapidly estimate aDNA damage from BAM files and cluster them to flag outliers—great for large/small aDNA projects and ancient metagenomics to find contigs likely to be modern. Great work by Louis Kraft!

AbstractMotivation. DNA damage patterns, such as increased frequencies of C→T and G→A substitutions at fragment ends, are widely used in ancient DNA studie
