Guidelines for preventing and reporting contamination in low-biomass microbiome studies - Nature Microbiology In this Consensus Statement, the authors outline strategies for processing, analysing and interpreting low-biomass microbiome samples, and provide recommendations to minimize contaminants.

Studying low-biomass environments in microbiome research? The struggle is real when it comes to contamination! Even the tiniest sprinkle of external microbes can throw off your results, making traditional methods a no-go. Details in link below:
