Reconstruction of plasmids by shotgun sequencing from environmental DNA: which bioinformatic workflow?

Résumé

Plasmids play important roles in microbial evolution and also in the spread of antibiotic resistance. Plasmid sequences are AQ5 extensively studied from clinical isolates but rarely from the environment with a metagenomic approach focused on the plasmid fraction referred to as the plasmidome. A clear challenge in this context is to define a workf low for discriminating plasmids from chromosomal contaminants existing in the plasmidome. For this purpose, we benchmarked existing tools from assembly to detection of the plasmids by reference-free methods (cBar and PlasFlow) and database-guided approaches. Our simulations took into account short-reads alone or combined with moderate long-reads like those actually generated in environmental genomics experiments. This benchmark allowed us to select the best tools for limiting false-positives associated to plasmid prediction tools and a combination of reference-guided methods based on plasmid and bacterial databases.
