Competitive mapping allows for the identification and exclusion of human DNA contamination in ancient faunal genomic datasets

Competitive mapping allows for the identification and exclusion of human DNA contamination in ancient faunal genomic datasets

Abstract Background After over a decade of developments in field collection, laboratory methods and advances in high-throughput sequencing, contamination remains a key issue in ancient DNA research. Currently, human and microbial contaminant DNA still impose challenges on cost-effective sequencing a...
