Microfluidic automated plasmid library enrichment for biosynthetic gene cluster discovery
Abstract Microbial biosynthetic gene clusters are a valuable source of bioactive molecules. However, because they typically represent a small fraction of genomic material in most metagenomic samples, it remains challenging to deeply sequence them. We present an approach to isolate and sequence gene...
