Has anybody had good results using plasmid sequencing companies (PlasmidsNG, PlasmidSaurus, etc.) to sequence "real" plasmids - ie >30Kb, containing transposons etc. or phage?

Effects of periodic bottlenecks on the dynamics of adaptive evolution in microbial populations
Population bottlenecks can impact the rate of adaptation in evolving populations. On the one hand, each bottleneck reduces the genetic variation that fuels adaptation. On the other hand, each founder ...
