Is there a simple script to identify plasmid Inc or Rep type given its DNA sequence?

Question

[crisstyl]

Hello,

I am currently trying to create a large dataset of bacterial plasmids, hosted in E. coli, for use in multiple sequence alignment and the creation of a phylogenetic tree. At the moment I am only looking to include IncP plasmids in my dataset, but many of the large plasmid datasets I can find online do not specify what Inc or Rep type each plasmid is.

If I cannot find a better way to determine these Inc or Rep types, I will likely need to create a script to read the DNA sequence of each plasmid I find and determine its type that way. If anyone has done work such as this before, I would be thrilled if I could glean some information off of you guys.
