Mini review: Genome mining approaches for the identification of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters in Streptomyces

Abstract excerpt

Streptomyces are a large and valuable resource of bioactive and complex secondary metabolites, many of which have important clinical applications. With the advances in high throughput genome sequencing methods, various in silico genome mining strategies have been developed and applied to the mapping of the Streptomyces genome. These studies have revealed that Streptomyces possess an even more significant number...
