antiSMASH 3.0—a comprehensive resource for the genome mining of biosynthetic gene clusters
Microbial secondary metabolism constitutes a rich source of antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, insecticides and other high-value chemicals. Genome mining of gene clusters that encode the biosynthetic pathways for these metabolites has become a key methodology for novel compound discovery. In 2011, we introduced antiSMASH, a web server and stand-alone tool for the automatic genomic identification a...
متن کاملThe antiSMASH database, a comprehensive database of microbial secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters
Secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms are the main source of bioactive compounds that are in use as antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, fungicides, herbicides and pesticides. In the last decade, the increasing availability of microbial genomes has established genome mining as a very important method for the identification of their biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). One of the most po...
متن کاملRecent development of antiSMASH and other computational approaches to mine secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters.
Many drugs are derived from small molecules produced by microorganisms and plants, so-called natural products. Natural products have diverse chemical structures, but the biosynthetic pathways producing those compounds are often organized as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and follow a highly conserved biosynthetic logic. This allows for the identification of core biosynthetic enzymes using ge...
متن کاملantiSMASH 2.0—a versatile platform for genome mining of secondary metabolite producers
Microbial secondary metabolites are a potent source of antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals. Genome mining of their biosynthetic gene clusters has become a key method to accelerate their identification and characterization. In 2011, we developed antiSMASH, a web-based analysis platform that automates this process. Here, we present the highly improved antiSMASH 2.0 release, available at http://...
متن کاملMicrobial genome mining answers longstanding biosynthetic questions.
A t the beginning of the genomic revolution, genomes were frequently described as the instruction manuals for an organism, but as the revolution progressed, many of these genomic instruction manuals resembled the frustratingly opaque descriptions that accompany so many new household gadgets, laboratory devices, and computer software. An important exception to this opacity has been in microbial ...
