Abstract

A wide variety of enzymatic pathways that produce specialized metabolites in bacteria, fungi and plants
are known to be encoded in biosynthetic gene clusters. Information about these clusters, pathways and
metabolites is currently dispersed throughout the literature, making it difficult to exploit. To facilitate
consistent and systematic deposition and retrieval of data on biosynthetic gene clusters, we propose the
Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard.
