Natural products, synthesized via enzymes encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), represent a major source of therapeutic agents. Accurate BGC annotation is essential to unlocking the vast potential of natural product diversity. However, BGC an...
Microorganisms remain a prolific source of bioactive compounds, yet discovery efforts are often hindered by traditional methods and the repeated isolation of known molecules. In the post-genomics era, advances in genome mining and multi-omics technol...
Plants release a substantial fraction of their photosynthesized carbon into the rhizosphere as root exudates that drive microbiome assembly. Deciphering how plants modulate the composition and activities of rhizosphere microbiota through root exudate...
Fungal secondary metabolites (SMs) represent a vast reservoir of bioactive compounds with immense therapeutic, agricultural, and industrial potential. These small molecules, including antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and anticancer agents, are synthe...
Allicin tolerance () clusters in phytopathogenic bacteria, which provide resistance to thiosulfinates like allicin, are challenging to find using conventional approaches due to their varied architecture and the paradox of being vertically maintained ...
Streptomyces albidoflavus is a widely used strain for natural product discovery and production through heterologous biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). However, the transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) and its impact on secondary metabolism remain...

The sluggish pace of new antibacterial drug development reflects a vulnerability in the face of the current severe threat posed by bacterial resistance. Microbial natural products (NPs), as a reservoir of immense chemical potential, have emerged as t...
Streptomyces produces diverse secondary metabolites of biopharmaceutical importance, yet the rate of biosynthesis of these metabolites is often hampered by complex transcriptional regulation. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of transcriptional ...
Biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in bacterial genomes code for important small molecules and secondary metabolites. Based on the validated BGCs and the corresponding sequences of protein family domains (Pfams), Pfam functions and clan information, w...
