Assembly Contamination Detection

Assembly Contamination Detection is a computational method used in metagenomic data quality control that identifies foreign genomic sequences within an assembled metagenome by distinguishing contaminant-derived contigs from those originating from the target organism or community through comparative genomic, compositional, and coverage-based analyses.
