IMG/PR: a database of plasmids from genomes and metagenomes with rich annotations and metadata
(database[TitleAbstract]) AND (Nucleic acids research[Journal]) 2024-08-21
Summary:
Plasmids are mobile genetic elements found in many clades of Archaea and Bacteria. They drive horizontal gene transfer, impacting ecological and evolutionary processes within microbial communities, and hold substantial importance in human health and biotechnology. To support plasmid research and provide scientists with data of an unprecedented diversity of plasmid sequences, we introduce the IMG/PR database, a new resource encompassing 699 973 plasmid sequences derived from genomes, metagenomes...
