According to recent research published in the journal Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, "An immense variety of complex secondary metabolites is produced by filamentous fungi including Aspergillus fumigatus, a main inducer of invasive aspergillosis. The identification of fungal secondary metabolite gene cluster is essential for the characterization of fungal secondary metabolism in terms of genetics and biochemistry through recombinant technologies such as gene disruption and cloning." "Most of the prediction methods for secondary metabolite gene cluster severely depend on homology searches. However, homology-based approach has intrinsic limitation to...
