Genomic analysis has demonstrated that many fungi possess essential gene clusters for the production of previously unobserved secondary metabolites; however, these genes are normally reduced or silenced under most conditions.

Genome Mining for Actinomycete Biosynthetic Gene Clusters [PDF]
Whole-genome sequencing has shown that the large (8-12 Mbp) genomes of Streptomyces and allied genera of Gram-positive filamentous bacteria house a rich and previously underestimated repertoire of gene clusters for biosynthesis of specialised metabolites,

ML-Miner: A Machine Learning Tool Used for Identification of Novel Biosynthetic Gene Clusters
Identifying biosynthetic gene clusters from genomic data is challenging, with many in-silico tools suffering from a high rediscovery rate due to their dependence on rule-based algorithms.

Identification and analysis of the resorcinomycin biosynthetic gene cluster [PDF]
Abstract Resorcinomycin (1) is composed of a nonproteinogenic amino acid, (S)-2-(3,5-dihydroxy-4-isopropylphenyl)-2-guanidinoacetic acid (2), and glycine. A biosynthetic gene cluster was identified in a genome database of Streptoverticillium roseoverticillatum by searching for orthologs of the genes responsible for biosynthesis of ...

Cloning and characterization of the biosynthetic gene cluster for kutznerides [PDF]
Kutznerides, actinomycete-derived cyclic depsipetides, consist of six nonproteinogenic residues, including a highly oxygenated tricyclic hexahydropyrroloindole, a chlorinated piperazic acid, 2-(1-methylcyclopropyl)-glycine, a β-branched-hydroxy acid, and 3-hydroxy glutamic acid, for which biosynthetic logic has not been elucidated.

Plant genome mining for triterpene biosynthetic genes and gene clusters [PDF]
Plant specialised metabolites are highly diverse in their functions and chemistries. The discovery of plant biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and the rapidly increasing volume of sequence data available for analysis provides a timely opportunity for wide,

The erythromycin biosynthetic gene cluster of Aeromicrobium erythreum
The erythromycin-biosynthetic (ery) gene cluster of Aeromicrobium erythreum was cloned and characterized. The 55.4-kb cluster contains 25 ery genes. Homologues were found for each gene in the previously characterized ery gene cluster from Saccharopolyspora erythraea. In addition, four new predicted ery genes were identified.
