Author contributions
HB & RAN designed the research, collected samples, developed the
methods and computer code, and wrote the manuscript. RAN obtained the
funding.

Table 1. Summary of the simulation results. The accuracy of the
intercept estimate (binary outcome) was modelled in a binomial-family
generalised linear model using the host nuclear genome size ‘GS’ and the
mapping depth of nuclear reads to the vagrant DNA reference ‘numtDep’ as
(log-transformed) predictors. The model coefficients (column ‘Estimate’)
are given on logit scale.
