PlasmidSeeker: identification of known plasmids from bacterial whole genome sequencing reads
Background Plasmids play an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, making their detection an important task. Using whole genome sequencing (WGS), it is possible to capture both bacterial and plasmid sequence data, but short read lengths make plasmid detection a complex problem...
