Finally, a shout out to all contributors to #MIBiG and a special thanks to the co-authors of this Position article in #bib, especially to @catarinacarolina.bsky.social, @kblin.bsky.social, and @marnixmedema.bsky.social ! It was a great pleasure working with you on this piece! (8/8)

One such initiative is #MIBiG. Founded in 2015, it has become the gold standard database for #biosynthetic gene clusters due to the tireless efforts of the #secmet #naturalproducts community. However, the biocuration efforts were mostly organized ad hoc, lacking a organizational framework (3/8).

Strategies for community-sourced biocuration in bioinformatics: a case study on MIBiG 4.0 Abstract. Biocuration is essential to transform molecular sequence data into standardized, machine-readable resources. Such curated datasets enable compara

Have you ever used a #bioinformatics #database and were frustrated by its lack of coverage? Did you ever think about starting your own resource? We just published a new strategy for community-driven #biocuration, based on our experiences with the #MIBiG database (1/8)! doi.org/10.1093/bib/...

The #NPLinker eScience #workshop 2025 started today with a round of introductions & theory and hands-on of #genome #mining and #gene cluster grouping led by @tilmweber.bsky.social & Arjan Draisma! 😎 The first NPLinker data type covered!
