AuthentiCT: a model of ancient DNA damage to estimate the proportion of present-day DNA contamination
Abstract Contamination from present-day DNA is a fundamental issue when studying ancient DNA from historical or archaeological material, and quantifying the amount of contamination is essential for downstream analyses. We present AuthentiCT, a command-line tool to estimate the proportion of present-...
