Strategies for the Discovery of New Natural Products by Genome Mining
22 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
Abstract New drugs from silent gene clusters : Analysis of genome sequence data has identified numerous “cryptic” gene clusters encoding novel natural product biosynthetic assembly lines; this suggests that many new bioactive metabolites remain to be discovered, even in extensively investigated organisms. Several related and complementary strategies for identifying the products of these clusters have emerged...
