antiSMASH 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 کاملMetabolomic Tools for Secondary Metabolite Discovery from Marine Microbial Symbionts
Marine invertebrate-associated symbiotic bacteria produce a plethora of novel secondary metabolites which may be structurally unique with interesting pharmacological properties. Selection of strains usually relies on literature searching, genetic screening and bioactivity results, often without considering the chemical novelty and abundance of secondary metabolites being produced by the microor...
متن کاملExpert Discovery: A web mining approach
Expert discovery is a quest in search of finding an answer to a question: “Who is the best expert of a specific subject in a particular domain within peculiar array of parameters?” Expert with domain knowledge in any field is crucial for consulting in industry, academia and scientific community. Aim of this study is to address the issues for expert-finding task in real-world community. Collabor...
متن کاملMetabolomics for Secondary Metabolite Research
Metabolomics, the global characterization of metabolite profiles, is becoming an increasingly powerful tool for research on secondary metabolite discovery and production. In this review we discuss examples of recent technological advances and biological applications of metabolomics in the search for chemical novelty and the engineered production of bioactive secondary metabolites.
متن کاملMining a Chemical Database for Fragment Co-occurrence: Discovery of "Chemical Clichés"
Nowadays millions of different compounds are known, their structures stored in electronic databases. Analysis of these data could yield valuable insights into the laws of chemistry and the habits of chemists. We have therefore explored the public database of the National Cancer Institute (>250,000 compounds) by pattern searching. We split the molecules of this database into fragments to find ou...
