# Pling!

Pling is a software workflow for plasmid analysis using rearrangement distances, specifically the Double Cut and Join Indel (DCJ-Indel) distance. By intelligently combining containment distance (shared content as fraction of the smaller) and DCJ-indel distance ("how far apart evolutionarily" in a structural sense), and by preventing shared mobile elements from clouding the issue, it infers clusters of related plasmids.
