Can verifyBamID2 be used to detect contamination in non-human species data? #52

I have already sequenced a batch of fungus data and would like to use verifyBamID2 to detect contamination in the WGS data. I note that the examples mentioned in Ancestry-agnostic estimation of DNA sample contamination from sequence reads are all human sequencing data. I would like to know whether verifyBamID2 can be used for other non-human species. Thanks.

In theory, you can use it on non-human diploid species.
