Description
Kai Blin and colleagues released antiSMASH 6.0 in 2021, the newest version of a widely used tool for mining microbial genomes. Many microbes make natural products, the source of numerous antibiotics, antivirals, and other drugs. Genome mining, searching a genome for the gene clusters that build such products, now complements older screening methods.
Since its first release in 2011, the antiSMASH platform has become a standard way to find and compare those clusters. The authors describe improvements in how clusters are detected and in how results can be compared across genomes. Each version widens the net for discovering new chemistry hidden in microbial DNA.
