Session 4: Genome Mining for Natural Products
Monday, July 21, 2014: 8:30 AM-11:30 AM
Regency Ballroom D, Second Floor (St. Louis Hyatt Regency at the Arch)
Convener:
Brian O. Bachmann - Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN
Genome mining may be defined as using genomic prescience of secondary metabolism to accelerate the discovery of natural products. This session showcases developments in this rapidly evolving field that endeavors to push raw gene sequence information through the central dogma and into discrete purified secondary metabolites in tubes.
