plasmidseeker - 1.0+dfsg-1 main

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.
