This resource containes bacterial plasmids retrieved from
the NCBI nucleotide database.
An overview of the collected plasmids
can be used to filter the sequences by various parameters such as length, topology, and taxonomic information.
Furthermore, nucleotide sequences can be
searched in the database
by either using Mash for longer sequences (e.g. contigs or long reads),
or by using BLASTn for shorter sequences, e.g. genes.
For more information, please
