Description: Simple statistical identification of contaminating
        sequence features in marker-gene or metagenomics data. Works on
        any kind of feature derived from environmental sequencing data
        (e.g. ASVs, OTUs, taxonomic groups, MAGs,...). Requires DNA
        quantitation data or sequenced negative control samples.
