A big thank goes to @Ommar_AC and @AnnaSapfo for the great collaboration and @unil, @dbc_unil and @ISBSIB for the support.

In conclusions Centrifuge outperformed the other classifiers. We recommend using strong filters to remove human DNA and to verify if the genomes of interest are included in the classifiers’ database.

We performed a simulation study to benchmark various classifiers on ancient viral DNA.

Our study «Benchmarking metagenomics classifiers on ancient viral DNA: a simulation study» is out in PeerJ peerj.com/articles/12784/
