The dataset was simulated using gargammel software, see link under references. Both ancient and modern reads were simulated, sequencing errors and Illumina adapters were added. The simulated datase was built by Nikolay Oskolkov, Lund University, Sweden, within the NBIS SciLifeLab long-term support project, PI Anders Götherström, Centre for Palaeogenetics, Stockholm, Sweden.
