Metagenomic effort to find the biosynthetic gene cluster of a known bioactive hybrid PKS-NRPS reveals a metagenome assembled genome (representing novel genus in the Opitutaceae family of Verrucomicrobia phylum) with five highly related copies of the gene cluster.

What if a scientist discovers a new species but doesn't have the ability to tell any other scientists about it? In an article published today, DRI's Alison Murray, Ph.D., and her collaborators present the rationale for updating the regulations for naming new species of bacteria
