PhytoFam: A Nextflow Pipeline for Genome-Wide Analysis of Plant Gene Families

Genome-wide identification of plant gene families is essential for functional and evolutionary studies but often requires the use of multiple independent tools for homolog detection, domain validation, orthology assignment, and phylogenetic analysis. This fragmented approach involves extensive manual scripting, complic...

Evolution, structure and function of the putative biosynthetic gene cluster of the fungal secondary metabolite myriocin, a potent inhibitory sphingolipid.

This work identifies the putative myriocin biosynthesis gene cluster (BGC) through de novo sequencing of two producing fungi, Isaria sinclairii and Mycelia sterilia, yielding genomes of 27 and 20 secondary metabolite BGCs, respectively.
