Identify contaminants with decontam on the QIIME 2 Framework
Here, we present the integration of the decontam method for contaminant identification and a supplemental approach for identifying the source of contaminants in sequencing data within the QIIME 2 Framework for microbiome data science. We demonstrate its use in a tutorial based on the QIIME 2 "Moving Pictures Tutorial" data.
