Jan. 7: New Capabilities to Study Secondary Metabolism
Although there are still a large number of secondary metabolites yet to be discovered and their biosynthetic logics to be understood, accessing these untapped metabolic capabilities is often tedious and resource intensive. This is often due to, for example, tight regulation of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in native hosts, the complexity of cloning and expressing a given BGC in various hosts, availability of sequenced genomes, and computing resources needed to predict BGCs from available genome sequences. The DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI), a DOE Office of Science User Facility, has been developing and applying new genomics capabilities that address these issues.
