antiSMASH database Precomputed antiSMASH results and advanced queries
The antiSMASH database offers researchers four main pieces of funtionality.
It is possible to browse the database by phylogeny or secondary metabolite type, giving an exploratory overview of the avaliable biosynthetic gene cluster predictions. Selecting a cluster for closer inspection will redirect to the antiSMASH results page, offering all the usual annotations.
Alteratively, it is possible to query for specific biosynthetic gene cluster types, monomers and many more. The "build a query" page allows to construct complicated, detailed queries in an easy manner.
If you want to find BGC regions containing protein sequences similar to a protein you are interested in, or containing a RiPP core peptide similar to a core peptide you are interested in, the protein sequence search is the tool to used.
Lastly, a number of summary statistics are available to give a general idea of the types of secondary metabolite production represented by the database.
This is the antiSMASH database version 4, last updated 2023-11-29.
