The paper introduces CIM, a method to predict CFM-Rec interactions from genomic data, revealing topological patterns in microbial communities.

The paper introduces RACE, a method for rapidly evolving NRPSs through recombineering, generating novel peptides and uncovering new recombination sites.

This paper introduces a strategy to activate silent NRPS biosynthetic gene clusters by swapping initiation units, successfully recovering three of six previously silent pathways and identifying five novel lipopeptides.

The paper develops a bioinformatic pipeline to predict bacterial siderophore structures and receptors from genome sequences, revealing significant diversity in pyoverdines and their receptors.
