“…The fast pace at which bacterial genomes are being sequenced have inspired several research groups to devise automated and semi-automated methods for the structural characterization of novel secondary metabolites in conjunction with the identification of their biosynthetic gene clusters (Doroghazi et al, 2014, Duncan et al, 2015, Kersten et al, 2011, Skinnider et al, 2015, Weber et al, 2015, Zhang et al, 2014). One example of such a pipeline is RiPPquest, which was designed specifically to mine RiPPs (Mohimani et al, 2014).…”
