Plasmid PFam32 Loci Comparison for High vs Low Plasmid Number Species

A comparison of plasmid repertoires based on PFam32 loci between high plasmid number species (10 isolates) and low plasmid number species (12 isolates). The dataset, authored by Sabrina Hepner and last updated on 2026-05-08, includes markers for fusion plasmids and cp32-28-4 plasmids, with presence indicated by color coding.

Use Cases

• Compare plasmid genetic content between bacterial groups based on PFam32 loci presence/absence.
• Identify patterns of complete versus incomplete plasmid carriage based on the color-coded indicators.
• Analyze the distribution of specific plasmid families (lp28 and cp32) mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Includes data from 22 distinct microbial isolates.
• Provides a direct comparison between two defined groups: high and low plasmid number species.
• Marks specific plasmid types (fusion and cp32-28-4) for easier identification.

Limitations

• Row and column counts are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
