OHEJP-RaDAR-D-JRP3-1.1 - Establishment of a database of synthetic, reference and genomic data

Curated Database of Complete Bacterial Plasmids

Background: Plasmids are the keystone of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria and are of major clinical interest due to their contribution to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes. As the number of plasmid sequences in public databases is growing exponentially, the creation of a comprehensive and curated complete plasmid database is critical to capitalize on the available data and provide an exhaustive library for the scientist community.
