PlasForest: a homology-based random forest classifier for plasmid detection in genomic datasets

Abstract Background Plasmids are mobile genetic elements that often carry accessory genes, and are vectors for horizontal transfer between bacterial genomes. Plasmid detection in large genomic datasets is crucial to analyze their spread and quantify their role in bacteria adaptation and particularly...
