The paper introduces IIBacFinder to identify unmodified class II bacteriocins in the human gut microbiome, showing their widespread distribution and biosynthetic potential.

This paper identifies twenty-four new archaeal lanthipeptides with unique chemical features and ecological functions, expanding the known chemical diversity of archaeal secondary metabolites.

This study identifies diverse ribosomally synthesized peptides in the human microbiome and shows some inhibit pathogens and reduce inflammation.

This study discovers new Avi(Me)Cys-containing cyclopeptide antibiotics effective against drug-resistant bacteria using genome mining and metabolomics.
