Simple statistical identification and removal of contaminant sequences in marker-gene and metagenomics data

2017-11-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The accuracy of microbial community surveys based on marker-gene and metagenomic sequencing (MGS) suffers from the presence of contaminants — DNA sequences not truly present in the sample. Contaminants come from various sources, including reagents. Appropriate laboratory practices can reduce contamination, but do not eliminate it. Here we introduce decontam ( https://github.com/benjjneb/deco...
