Plasmid classification and binning with Sergio Arredondo-Alonso and Anita Schürch (#40)

December 30, 2019

Does a given bacterial gene live on a plasmid or the chromosome? What other genes live on the same plasmid?

In this episode, we hear from Sergio Arredondo-Alonso and Anita Schürch, whose projects mlplasmids and gplas answer these types of questions.

• mlplasmids: a user-friendly tool to predict plasmid- and chromosome-derived sequences for single species (Sergio Arredondo-Alonso, Malbert R. C. Rogers, Johanna C. Braat, Tess D. Verschuuren, Janetta Top, Jukka Corander, Rob J. L. Willems, Anita C. Schürch)
• gplas: a comprehensive tool for plasmid analysis using short-read graphs (Sergio Arredondo-Alonso, Martin Bootsma, Yaïr Hein, Malbert R.C. Rogers, Jukka Corander, Rob JL Willems, Anita C. Schürch)
