Precise genotyping of circular mobile elements uncovers human associated plasmids with surprisingly recent common ancestors
2021-05-26
Abstract excerpt
Mobile genetic elements with circular genomes play a key role in the evolution of microbial communities. These circular genomes correspond to cyclic paths in metagenome graphs, and yet, assemblies derived from natural microbial communities produce graphs riddled with spurious cycles, complicating the accurate reconstruction of circular genomes. We present an algorithm that reconstructs true circular genomes based...
