Identify antimicrobial resistance and virulence genes in gene or protein sequences.

Uses AMRFinder+ to screen nucleotide or protein sequences against NCBI's Reference Gene Database. It identifies AMR genes, resistance-associated point mutations, and select other classes of genes using protein annotations and/or assembled nucleotide sequences.

Requires external database to be available
