Experimental Reagent Blacklist
The list of microbes contaminated by reagents and laboratory environment. The sources are Table S8 in Poore et al. (PMC7500457), Table 1 in Salter et al. (PMC4228153), PRJEB21503, PRJEB36408, PRJEB7055.

The scores (BlackLv: "Black Level") are scaled from 0 to 5 with priority given to the discoveries in NGS data;

  • Score 5: OCT detected from at least two PRJEB (=3), and listed at both Tables (1+1)
  • Score 4: OCT detected from at least two PRJEB (=3), and listed at either Table (=1)
  • Score 3: OCT detected from at least two PRJEB (=3), and listed at neither Table (=0)
  • Score 2: OCT did not detect, but listed at both Tables (=2)
  • Score 1: OCT did not detect, but listed at either (=1)
  • Score 0: otherwise
