MIBiG 4.0: advancing biosynthetic gene cluster curation through global collabor...
Zdouc, Mitja M.; Blin, Kai; Louwen, Nico L. L.; Navarro, Jorge; Loureiro, Catarina; Bader, Chantal D.; Bailey, Constance B.; Barra, LenaSpecialized or secondary metabolites are small molecules of biological origin, often showing potent biological activities with applications in agriculture, engineering and medicine. Usually, the biosynthesis of these natural products is governed by sets of co-regulated and physically clustered genes known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). To share information about BGCs in a standardized and machine-readabl...
