Calibration sausages WGS containing mammalian and avian species

Within this project we extracted and sequenced total DNA of so called calibraton sausages: sausages prepared under laboratory conditions with known compositions of different mammalian and avian species. The data was used to develop and calibrate a new bioinformatic pipeline named AFS (All Food Sequencing) that is feasible to accurately determine species composition in food samples in a qualitative and quantitative way by a readmapping/-counting approach.
