An atlas of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from environmental metagenomic samples. Browse, query, and download BGCs, gene cluster families (GCFs), and inspect their taxonomic and ecological context.

Search the atlas

Find BGCs by property antiSMASH properties — product class, taxonomy, region length — across every BGC
Does my BGC cluster with a family in the BGC Atlas? BiG-SLiCE placement against gene cluster families
Search by sequence FASTA or GenBank; blastp / blastx via DIAMOND
