ConFindr: rapid detection of intraspecies and cross-species contamination in bacterial whole-genome sequence data
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial pathogens is currently widely used to support public-health investigations. The ability to assess WGS data quality is critical to underpin the reliability of downstream analyses. Sequence contamination is a quality issue that could potentially impact WGS-ba...
