Plasmids play a pivotal role in the emergence of multidrug-resistant and pathogenic bacteria, posing significant clinical challenges. However, the rapidly growing number of unannotated plasmids necessitates comprehensive characterization of their diverse properties. Here, we present PlasRAG, a tool that integrates multi-faceted property characterization of query plasmids and plasmid DNA retrieval based on textual queries. PlasRAG employs a bidirectional multi-modal information retrieval model that aligns DNA sequences with textual data, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional approaches. Rigorous experiments demonstrate that PlasRAG delivers robust performance and enhanced analytical capabilities, underscoring the effectiveness of its architectural design.
