Comparative genomics of actinomycetes with a focus on natural product biosynthetic genes
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Actinomycetes are a diverse group of medically, industrially and ecologically important bacteria, studied as much for the diseases they cause as for the cures they hold. The genomes of actinomycetes revealed that these bacteria have a large number of natural product gene clusters, although many of these are difficult to tie to products in the laboratory. Large scale comparisons of these clusters are...
