External sites of interests to Plasmid Biologists and Mobile Genetic Elementists:

• ACLAME Database of Mobile Genetic Elements
  
   
• The Plasmid Genome Database
  (CEH-Oxford with collaboration from the Danish Technical University)
  Aims to collate biological and genomic data for all bacterial plasmids in the hopes of enabling rapid interrogation of both meta- and genomic data.
   
• Database of Plasmid Replicons
  (Mark Osborn, Sheffield)
   
• IS finder
  A list of insertion sequences isolated from eubacteria and archae.
   
• Tn Number Designation and Database
  A website set up to facilitate the naming of transposons.
   
• Plasmid Sequencing
  (Sanger Institute Pathogen Sequencing Unit)
  The aims include the sequencing of reference plasmids for each of the Escherichia coli incompatibility groups for which no complete sequence exists.
   
• The journal Plasmid
  
   
• The Sequence Ontology Project
  Aims to develop an ontology suitable for describing biological sequences - including plasmids, phages, transposons and other mobile elements.
   
• The draft Bacillus megaterium QM B1551 genome sequence (including the genome and its seven resident plasmids) is available:
