References for synthetic controls

[peterjc]

Different but interesting alternative synthetic controls:

Wilson et al. (2016) Recognizing false positives: synthetic oligonucleotide controls for environmental DNA surveillance. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.12452

Probably worth citing somewhere...

Also:

Palmer et al. (2018) Non-biological synthetic spike-in controls and the AMPtk software pipeline improve mycobiome data. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.4925

See work-in-progress on branch synthetic_mycobiome using this as a worked example

There should be papers to follow (which is why I am collating references), but for now this poster introduces our project, the synthetic controls, and THAPBI PICT software: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.8832296.v4
