Systematically investigating and identifying bacteriocins in the human gut microbiome

Abstract excerpt

Human gut microbiota produces unmodified bacteriocins, natural antimicrobial peptides that protect against pathogens and regulate host physiology. However, current bioinformatic tools limit the comprehensive investigation of bacteriocins' biosynthesis, obstructing research into their biological functions. Here, we introduce IIBacFinder, a superior analysis pipeline for identifying unmodified class II...
