Multi-genome alignment for quality control and contamination screening of next-generation sequencing data.

abstract：:Network propagation is a central tool in biological research. While a number of variants and normalizations have been proposed for this method, each has its own shortcomings and no large scale assessment of those variants is available. Here we propose a novel normalization method for network propagation that is based ...
