Dataset for tutorial "Query an existing (metaplasmidome) annotated database to identify and annotate genetic elements (e.g. plasmids) in metagenomics data"

Identifying and annotating mobile genetic elements (MGE) in metagenomic data can be tricky. To facilitate the process, we can use existing and custom annotated mobile genetic element database.

In the tutorial, we explain how to query an annotated mobile genetic element database to identify and annotate genetic elements (e.g. plasmids) in metagenomics data. We use a metaplasmidome database built from public air metagenomes (data) and query it with other air metagenome data that has been assembled. The annotation of the metaplasmidome data was done using Prokka.
