The effect of sequencing and assembly on the inference of horizontal gene transfer on chromosomal and plasmid phylogenies
2021-11-15
Abstract excerpt
The spread of antibiotic resistance genes on plasmids is a threat to human and animal health. Phylogenies of bacteria and their plasmids contain clues regarding the frequency of plasmid transfer events, as well as the co-evolution of plasmids and their hosts. However, whole genome sequencing data from diverse ecological or clinical bacterial samples is rarely used to study plasmid phylogenies and resistance gene t...
