Mixture model of contaminants and non-contaminants in MGS experiments. Contaminant DNA is expected to be present in approximately equal and low concentrations across samples, while sample DNA concentrations can vary widely. As a result, the expected frequency of contaminant DNA varies inversely with total sample DNA concentration (red), while the expected frequency of non-contaminant DNA does not (blue)
