Assessing the prevalence of mycoplasma contamination in cell culture via a survey of NCBI's RNA-seq archive

Mycoplasmas are notorious contaminants of cell culture and can have profound effects on host cell biology by depriving cells of nutrients and inducing global changes in gene expression. Over the last two decades, sentinel testing has revealed wide-ranging contamination rates in mammalian culture. To...
