Population Genomics of Early Events in the Ecological Differentiation of Bacteria

TL;DR: This paper showed that in two recently diverged populations of ocean bacteria, ecological differentiation has occurred akin to a sexual mechanism: a few genome regions have swept through subpopulations in a habitat-specific manner, accompanied by gradual separation of gene pools as evidenced by increased habitat specificity of the most recent recombinations.

A Systematic Computational Analysis of Biosynthetic Gene Cluster Evolution: Lessons for Engineering Biosynthesis - eScholarship

TL;DR: By performing a systematic computational analysis of BGC evolution, this work derives evidence for three findings that shed light on the ways in which, despite these constraints, nature successfully invents new molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mining genomes to illuminate the specialized chemistry of life

TL;DR: The rapid accumulation of genomic information has revealed that the metabolic capacity of virtually all organisms is vastly underappreciated as discussed by the authors, and genome mining technologies are accelerating metabolite discovery in all organisms, including protists, plants and animals.

cblaster: a remote search tool for rapid identification and visualisation of homologous gene clusters

TL;DR: Cblaster as discussed by the authors is a Python-based tool to detect collocated genes in local and remote databases, which can be easily incorporated into larger bio-informatic pipelines and is easy to use, offering both a command line and a user-friendly graphical user interface.

Sharing and community curation of mass spectrometry data with Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking

Mingxun Wang, +135 more
- 01 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: In GNPS, crowdsourced curation of freely available community-wide reference MS libraries will underpin improved annotations and data-driven social-networking should facilitate identification of spectra and foster collaborations.
