Table 1 Effect of laboratory and sequencing center variables on the probability of contamination

From: Patterns of cross-contamination in a multispecies population genomic project: detection, quantification, impact, and solutions

 

LAB- distinct technicians or overlap > 200 days

LAB +  same technician, overlap < 200 days

CENTER- distinct shipments

0 [0/360]

CENTER +  same shipment

0.20 [89/451]

0.41 [52/128]

CENTER++ same flowcell

0.32 [78/247]

0.50 [52/104]

CENTER+++ same lane

0.43 [69/159]

0.57 [49/86]
