Holocene life and microbiome profiling in ancient tropical Lake Chalco, Mexico
Abstract Metagenomic and traditional paleolimnological approaches are suitable to infer past biological and environmental changes, however, they are often applied independently, especially in tropical regions. We combined both approaches to investigate Holocene Prokaryote and Eukaryote diversity and...
