Cumulative Percent Decay Curve Generator.
cuperdec
R package to generate 'Cumulative Percent Decay' curves, with optional filtering functions, for microbial taxonomic profiles.
These curves aim to represent the level of 'endogenous' content of microbiome samples, such as ancient dental calculus, to help to identify samples with low levels of preservation that should be discarded for downstream analysis.
