Contamination estimates in archaic and modern human DNA datasets. a Estimates from AuthentiCT (in red) and a method based on the proportion of shared derived alleles with a present-day human genome (in black; see Material and Methods). When available, we used 10,000 sequences from public archaic human DNA datasets generated by shotgun sequencing of single-stranded DNA libraries [22, 23, 58, 60]. For more details about the libraries (identifiers on the x-axis), see Additional file 1: Table S2. Bars represent 95% CI. b Estimates from AuthentiCT (in red; using 10,000 sequences) and contaminationX (in black [18];) for public DNA datasets generated by hybridization capture of single-stranded DNA libraries prepared from ancient modern human samples [48, 56]. For the Villabruna samples, the numbers after the identifiers correspond to the number of target sites in the corresponding hybridization capture experiment. Bars represent 95% CI
