Placnet

Plasmid Constellation Network project.

Placnet is a new tools for plasmid analysis in NGS projects. Placnet has been written in Perl. It's been optimized to work with Illumina sequences but it also works with 454, Iontorrent or any of the actual sequence technologies.

The input of placnet is a set of contigs and one or more SAM files with the mapping of the reads against the contigs. Placnet obtains a set of files, easily opened on Cytoscape software or other network tools.
