We present two standards developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for
reporting bacterial and archaeal genome sequences. Both are extensions of the Minimum …

One of the exciting movements in microbial sciences has been a refocusing and
revitalization of efforts to mine the fungal secondary metabolome. The magnitude of …

Secondary metabolites produced by bacteria and fungi are an important source of
antimicrobials and other bioactive compounds. In recent years, genome mining has seen …

With an ever-increasing amount of (meta) genomic data being deposited in sequence
databases,(meta) genome mining for natural product biosynthetic pathways occupies a …

Fueled by the explosion of (meta) genomic data, genome mining of specialized metabolites
has become a major technology for drug discovery and studying microbiome ecology. In …

Many antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, crop protection agents and food preservatives
originate from molecules produced by bacteria, fungi or plants. In recent years, genome …

Microorganisms living inside plants can promote plant growth and health, but their genomic
and functional diversity remain largely elusive. Here, metagenomics and network inference …

Natural products derived from microorganisms serve as a vital resource of valuable
pharmaceuticals and therapeutic agents. Streptomyces is the most ubiquitous bacterial …

Interest in secondary metabolites such as RiPPs (ribosomally synthesized and
posttranslationally modified peptides) is increasing worldwide. To facilitate the research in …

Genome mining has become a key technology to exploit natural product diversity. Although
initially performed on a single-genome basis, the process is now being scaled up to mine …
