Descrição

This dataset comprises metagenomic microbial DNA data derived from mammoth (Elephantidae: Mammuthus) remains spanning over one million years. It includes newly sequenced and unpublished samples, contaminant filtering, damage‐pattern analyses, and reconstructed partial genomes of host-associated microbial clades (e.g., Actinobacillus, Pasteurella, Streptococcus, Erysipelothrix). The data support paleo-microbiological analyses of ancient animal-microbe interactions.

Cobertura Taxonômica

Taxa include remains of wooly and steppe mammoths and associated microbial taxa from Actinobacillus sp., Pasteurella sp. , Streptococcus sp. and Erysipelothrix sp.). The microbial DNA is identified and/or reconstructed to clade level.

Dados Sobre o Projeto

International collaborative project to sequence and analyse ancient microbial DNA from mammoth remains spanning over one million years, to reconstruct host-associated microbial lineages and explore their evolutionary history.  Funding: SciLifeLab and Wallenberg Data Driven Life Science Program (KAW 2020.0239), Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS) at SciLifeLab, Swedish Research Council (grants 2017-04647 and 2021-00625), European Union – ERC (PrimiGenomes, 101054984), European Union – Horizon 2020 (Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant no. 892446), European Union – Horizon Europe (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships, 101111414)

Título Ancient mammoth microbiome project

O pessoal envolvido no projeto:

Benjamin Guinet

Métodos de Amostragem

Specimens were obtained from collections/museums and excavations (locations include Yakutia, Russia; Yukon, Canada; Europe). DNA was extracted from tissue types (e.g., bone, tooth, tusk) under ancient DNA clean-lab conditions. Metagenomic sequencing libraries were prepared, sequenced, and processed. Contaminants were filtered using standard damage-pattern screening and comparison to environmental controls.

Área de Estudo The study covers 483 mammoth specimens from multiple geographic regions and time periods, including a ~1.1 Myr-old steppe mammoth sample; 440 of the specimens were newly sequenced for this project. Among them, 16 different mammoths presented host-associated microbes.
Controle de Qualidade The study applied metagenomic screening, contaminant filtering protocols, damage pattern analysis to authenticate ancient DNA signals, and phylogenetic inference to determine host-association of microbial taxa.

Descrição dos passos do método:

  1. Step 1: Collection of mammoth remains and contextual metadata (age, location, tissue type)  Step 2: Ancient DNA extraction and library preparation in clean-lab facilities  Step 3: High-throughput sequencing of metagenomic libraries  Step 4: Bioinformatic screening: mapping, contaminant filtering, damage pattern analysis  Step 5: Taxonomic assignment of microbial reads/contigs, genome reconstruction of key clades  Step 6: Phylogenetic and functional analyses of reconstructed microbial genomes  Step 7: Metadata integration and dataset assembly for publication and deposition
