🛠️ amdirt: AncientMetagenomeDir Toolkit 🛠️

amdirt is a toolkit for interacting with the AncientMetagenomeDir metadata repository of ancient metagenomic samples and ancient microbial genomes.

This tool provides ways to explore and download sequencing data for ancient microbial and environmental (meta)genomes, automatically prepare input samplesheets for a range of bioinformatic processing pipelines, and to validate AncientMetagenomeDir submissions.

For more information on installation see: Install.

For how to use the toolkit (tutorials, how-toes, references) please see the table of contents.
