TL;DR: AntiSMASH as mentioned in this paper is a web server and stand-alone tool for the automatic genomic identification and analysis of biosynthetic gene clusters, available at http://antismash.org.

TL;DR: This work presents the first comprehensive pipeline capable of identifying biosynthetic loci covering the whole range of known secondary metabolite compound classes, and integrates or cross-links all previously available secondary-metabolite specific gene analysis methods in one interactive view.

TL;DR: The thoroughly updated antiSMASH version 4 is presented, which adds several novel features, including prediction of gene cluster boundaries using the ClusterFinder method or the newly integrated CASSIS algorithm, improved substrate specificity prediction for non-ribosomal peptide synthetase adenylation domains based on the new SANDPUMA algorithm, and several usability features have been updated and improved.

TL;DR: The highly improved antiSMASH 2.0 now supports input of multiple related sequences simultaneously (multi-FASTA/GenBank/EMBL), which allows the analysis of draft genomes comprising multiple contigs, and direct analysis of protein sequences is now possible.

TL;DR: A novel algorithm is used to systematically identify BGCs in the extensive extant microbial sequencing data, indicating for the first time the important roles these compounds play in Gram-negative cell biology.
