Microbial Bioinformatics is a rapidly changing field marrying computer science and microbiology. Join us as we share some tips and tricks we’ve learnt over the years. If you’re student just getting to grips to the field, or someone who just wants to keep tabs on the latest and greatest - this podcast is for you. The hosts are Dr. Lee - a bioinformatician in the United States, Dr. Nabil-Fareed Alikhan from the University of Oxford (UK), and Prof. Andrew Page from Origin Sciences (UK) and bring together years of experience in microbial bioinformatics. The opinions expressed here are our own and do not necessarily reflect the views of University of Oxford or Origin Sciences.

    155 - Ancient problems require ancient solutions - part 1
    Sep 17 2026
    What can DNA recovered from bones, teeth and paleofaeces tell us that living samples can't — and how do you keep modern contamination from drowning out a 1,000-year-old signal? In Part 1, host Nabil Ali Khan is joined by James Fellows Yates (bioinformatician, biomolecular archaeologist, and editor of the new open textbook Introduction to Ancient Metagenomics) for a tour of the field. They cover why ancient DNA arrives as 30–70 bp fragments with characteristic C→T "smiley plot" damage, how endogenous yields as low as 1% still count as a good sample, and the wet-lab lengths (bodysuits, UV, no kits) needed to keep libraries clean. They also dig into the big questions ancient microbial DNA is now answering — plague and TB origins, oral-microbiome loss since the Neolithic, AMR trends read from historical bear calculus — and how the SPAAM community, NF-core/eager and AncientMetagenomeDir grew up to support the work.
