ContaTester: Fast cross-contamination estimation and identification for large human sequencing cohorts

2021-10-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Interest in genomic medicine for human health studies and clinical applications is rapidly increasing. Clinical applications require contamination-free samples to avoid misleading results and provide a sound basis for diagnosis. <h4>Results</h4> Here we present ContaTester, a tool which requires only allele balance information gathered from a VCF file to detect cross-contamination in germline...
