Diverse and widespread contamination evident in the unmapped depths of high throughput sequencing data.

Trace quantities of contaminating DNA are widespread in the laboratory environment, but their presence has received little attention in the context of high throughput sequencing. This issue is highlighted by recent works that have rested controversial claims upon sequencing data that appear to suppo...
