identification of known plasmids from whole-genome sequencing reads

PlasmidSeeker is a k-mer based program for the identification of known plasmids from bacterial whole genome sequencing reads.

PlasmidSeeker that enables the detection of plasmids from bacterial WGS data without read assembly. The PlasmidSeeker algorithm is based on k-mers and uses k-mer abundance to distinguish between plasmid and bacterial sequences. The performance of PlasmidSeeker was tested on a set of simulated and real bacterial WGS samples, resulting in 100% sensitivity and 99.98% specificity.
