BGC Atlas — an atlas of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and gene cluster families (GCFs) from environmental metagenomes

Taxonomy is now assigned per BGC rather than inherited per sample, lifting coverage from 71% to 99.4% of the 16.5M BGCs (82% resolved to genus or better), with GTDB refreshed to release 232. It flows through the BGC, GCF and sample tables, the metadata filters, GCF taxonomy distributions, and sequence-search results.

Upload a whole GenBank record, not just proteins: hits are grouped per BGC on a paginated table sortable by how many query genes matched, with BLAST-style pairwise alignments, a contig map showing where each BGC's genes align on your query, a map of where the hits come from, and live progress while the search runs.

Matched BGCs can now be viewed on a map with a colour-by dropdown, distribution buckets link straight to the page they name, RiPP annotations are split into typed fields you can filter individually, the GCF filter accepts family names, and NRPS module signatures and Stachelhaus codes support substring matching.

The DIAMOND protein index now covers the full corpus (16.5M BGCs, 170M proteins) instead of a June snapshot that was missing a quarter of it. Hits are grouped by BGC and link to their Atlas pages with product type, sample, source, GCF and taxonomy, and nucleotide queries are now accepted via blastx.
