A likelihood method for estimating present-day human contamination in ancient DNA samples using low-depth haploid chromosome data

2019-03-31

Abstract excerpt

1 <h4>Motivation</h4> The presence of present-day human contaminating DNA fragments is one of the challenges defining ancient DNA (aDNA) research. This is especially relevant to the ancient human DNA field where it is difficult to distinguish endogenous molecules from human contaminants due to their genetic similarity. Recently, with the advent of high-throughput sequencing and new aDNA protocols, hundreds of an...
