Large-scale network analysis captures biological features of bacterial plasmids
Plasmids can mediate the exchange of genetic material between bacterial cells. Here, Acman et al. use network analyses to study the population structure and dynamics of over 10,000 plasmids, assigning them into cliques that correlate with gene content, host range, and existing classifications based...
