Description
BackgroundWhile whole genome sequencing has become a cornerstone of antimicrobial resistance surveillance, the reconstruction of plasmid sequences from short-read data remains a challenge due to repetitive sequences and assembly fragmentation. Current computational tools for plasmid identification and binning have limitations in reconstructing full plasmid sequences, hindering downstream analyses like phylogenetic studies and antimicrobial resistance gene tracking.
