Rapid and sensitive detection of genome contamination at scale with FCS-GX

Assembled genome sequences are being generated at an exponential rate. Here we present FCS-GX, part of NCBI’s Foreign Contamination Screen (FCS) tool suite, optimized to identify and remove contaminant sequences in new genomes. FCS-GX screens most genomes in 0.1–10 min. Testing FCS-GX on artificiall...
