This is every molecular biologist's nightmare - vector and PCR product contamination across samples.

We can sequence so deep now that all kinds of details come to light!
I bet lots of us "reproduced" aspects of this in our own labs - i.e. a genotyping you do often starts to show up in every PCR you do, etc.

DNA always finds a way.
