Are you running antiSMASH across many genomes? Check out multiSMASH, my simple wrapper that streamlines comparative BGC analyses by parallelizing antiSMASH runs and tabulating the results. Runs BiG-SCAPE too! WIP, so feedback and bug reports appreciated. github.com/zreitz/multism…

Move over titin... introducing PKZILLA as the largest protein in life that makes one the largest nonpolymeric compounds in biology, the marine polyether toxin prymnesin. Congrats to Tim Fallon, PhD @[email protected] & Vikram Shende and rest of team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our latest work, just posted on bioRxiv Microbiology. We studied the early steps of the biosynthesis of the anticancer antibiotic pleurotin using a combination of stable isotope feeding, genome sequencing, transcriptomics and heterologous gene expression. 🍄🧬💊

Our latest paper Nature Microbiology: converting waste into delicious food using fungi. We studied a traditional Indonesian food and discovered a mold domesticated for waste-to-food conversion. Amazing international collab involving scientists, chefs. tinyurl.com/36rzkr57

A study using an n=1 experiment with single standards at 0V CID reported that 70% of detected ions were in-source fragments (ISFs). nature.com/articles/s42... This was extrapolated to suggest that ISFs affect all experiments to this degree. A counterpoint. rdcu.be/ebFwc
