Summary: GATK tool to estimate amount of cross-individual contaminating sequence in a dataset

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

Description

Cross-contamination of samples in a large sequencing facility is inevitable, even with elaborate safeguards. ContEst estimates the degree of such contamination in a sequencing dataset, using known population allele frequencies and microarray measurements.
