Circling in on plasmids: benchmarking plasmid detection and reconstruction tools for short-read data from diverse species

2025-08-01

Abstract excerpt

The ability to detect and reconstruct plasmids from genome assemblies is crucial for studying the evolution and spread of antimicrobial resistance and virulence in bacteria. Though long-read sequencing technologies have made reconstructing plasmids easier, most (97%) of the bacterial genome assemblies in the public domain are generated from short-read data. Work to compare plasmid reconstruction tools has focused...
