Agent-Based Model Results for Host-Plasmid Infection and Compatibility Networks

A 5.5 KB dataset containing simulation results from a stochastic agent-based model investigating microbial community dynamics. The model, developed by Ying-Jie Wang, embeds host–plasmid infection and plasmid–plasmid compatibility networks to study their non-additive effects on plasmid transmission and host coexistence. The dataset was last updated on May 26, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the effect of modular versus hub network structures on plasmid prevalence based on the described model parameters.
• Testing hypotheses about host-plasmid community dynamics and eco-evolutionary potential based on the coupled network interactions.
• Calibrating agent-based models of microbial transmission using the systematic variation of infection and compatibility network structures described.

Strengths

• Model results are based on a systematic variation of two distinct ecological network structures (infection and compatibility).
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open sharing and adaptation.
• The underlying model was re-parameterized to recapitulate empirical host-plasmid community dynamics, as noted in the description.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating limited scope or a highly summarized output.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analyses.
