CAGEcleaner: reducing genomic redundancy in gene cluster mining AbstractMotivation. Mining homologous biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) typically involves searching colocalised genes against large genomic databases. How

🚨 Tired of redundant #BiosyntheticGeneCluster hits?

💥 Check out #CAGEcleaner – our new genome-level dereplication pipeline for BGC mining and comparative analysis. Works with cblaster & CAGECAT.
