The genetic and ecological landscape of plasmids in the human gut

2020-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Despite their prevalence and impact on microbial lifestyles, ecological and evolutionary insights into naturally occurring plasmids are far from complete. Here we developed a machine learning model, PlasX, which identified 68,350 non-redundant plasmids across human gut metagenomes, and we organized them into 1,169 evolutionarily cohesive ‘plasmid systems’ using our sequence containment-aware network partitioning a...
