Abstract

Specialized metabolites produced by microorganisms are frequently used in the development of drugs and crop protection agents. Genome mining is a widely used approach to access this potential, and antiSMASH is often the tool of choice for this task. Here, we present version 5 of the antiSMASH database, with biosynthetic gene cluster predictions provided by antiSMASH 8.1 available in an easy-to-use web interface. Version 5 of the database contains 833 archaeal, 54 800 bacterial, and 421 fungal genomes and is available from https://antismash-db.secondarymetabolites.org/.
