Quantifying and Understanding Well-to-Well Contamination in Microbiome Research
ABSTRACT Microbial sequences inferred as belonging to one sample may not have originated from that sample. Such contamination may arise from laboratory or reagent sources or from physical exchange between samples. This study seeks to rigorously assess the behavior of this often-neglected between-sam...
