Disclosed herein are computer-implemented systems, kits, and methods for outputting an amount of contributor-derived nucleic acids in a biological sample, from a transplant recipient who has received at least two transplants, that comprises nucleic acids from at least three genetically distinct contributors. The amount of contributor-derived nucleic acids may be useful in monitoring the status of a transplant for, e.g., assessing a risk of transplant rejection. In some examples, the at least three genetically distinct contributors may comprise a recipient genomic contributor, a first transplant donor genomic contributor, and a second transplant donor genomic contributor. For example, the systems and methods determine an estimated percentage of the contributor-derived nucleic acids and/or estimated percentage of the fetal-derived nucleic acids.
