Curious if your fungus of interest contains any ICS BGCs? You can find out for yourself! We've created a website to host all ICS BGC predictions made in the study. Check it out at: isocyanides.fungi.wisc.edu/. 🌐🔍

There is much fungus among us here in the group! Very proud to be a co-author with @hailceezur, Fatma, Matt, Navid, David, Raveena and our friends at @TheKellerLab on this important paper in @nchembio that shows linked #genomes & #metabolomes across 110 fungi. Check it out!
Work by @hailceezur & @NLKProteomics used integrated #metabologenomics on 110 fungi to understand the biosynthesis of #naturalproducts, identifying 200+ high confidence targets for future studies. #pairedOmics #BigData Free to read: rdcu.be/c60kt nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

Microbe community I have a question! I made a fungal tree of life for a paper I’m working on, and located two egregiously mislabeled NCBI genomes that are likely from someone sequencing contamination. We’re talking a labeled species being in an entirely different taxonomic class.
