BGC Atlas v2: biosynthetic gene clusters with taxonomic and environmental context at scale

Genomic and metagenomic studies have revealed that microbes have the capacity to produce an enormous diversity of secondary metabolites. These compounds play important roles in microbial interactions and are also a major source of medicines and other useful natural products, yet only a small fraction of this biosynthetic potential has been experimentally characterized. BGC Atlas was developed to…
