How to find the number of copies of genes (e.g. 23S rRNA) present in a genome?

Hello,

I am in the process of collecting Antimicrobial resistance reference data and metadata. I have 2 questions and will appreciate any help.

  1. Where I can collect antimicrobial resistance reference data? I found Reference Gene Catalog from NCBI (NDARO) and CARD in mcmaster. Is there a better database that I can use?

  2. Where can I find metadata? for example the number of copies of genes or how many of copies translate into certain level of drug resistance.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What is wrong with CARD??

I guess you can use RGI tool for the AMR gene detection along with their copy number.
