HuConTest: Testing human contamination in great ape samples

2021-03-31

Abstract excerpt

Modern human contamination is a common problem in ancient DNA studies. We provide evidence that this issue is also present in studies in great apes, which are our closest living relatives, for example in non-invasive samples. Here, we present a simple method to detect human contamination in short read sequencing data from different species. We demonstrate its feasibility using blood and tissue samples from these s...
