We are thrilled to release over 1,000 more genomes on the NPDC Genome Portal (npdc.rc.ufl.edu)!
Discover the Natural Products Discovery Center, home to thousands of rare microbes. Learn how @UFScripps' Dr. Ben Shen & his team explore microbes for groundbreaking treatments & cures.🌿🔬 The future of drug discovery might lie in these tiny, yet mighty, microbes!
It's out! One of @tyler_alsup_'s PhD projects is now published in @rsc_chembio! He used heterologous expression to decipher the first four steps of phenalinolactone #diterpene #biosynthesis. More from Tyler coming soon! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
We're thrilled to announce an update to the NPDC Portal, now featuring search and sort functionalities! This improvement was made possible thanks to our collaborators at the Chevrette Lab. @wildtypeMC npdc.rc.ufl.edu/home
We're enhancing the NPDC portal with exciting new features! While we work on this, the portal will experience some downtime. Thanks for your patience—stay tuned for the updated release!
At @UFScripps and @lab_shen, a labyrinth of vials makes up the Natural Products Discovery Center, home to a treasure trove of biodiversity with untold promise for treating disease. Read more about the living library at bit.ly/3KLqjGU.
We're excited to have our NPDC Actinobacteria collection featured in Florida Physician! This resource holds immense potential for drug discovery, and we're looking forward to what comes next. floridaphysician.med.ufl.edu/2024/05/16/a-l…
We are thrilled to release 3,000+ more genomes on the NPDC Genome Portal (npdc.rc.ufl.edu)! This week, we are also launching new filter and search functionalities to improve your experience. Please take a moment to fill out our NPDC survey here: forms.office.com/r/6yWxZDVwwQ
I once was asked: what's the one paper you are most proud of? And this is it (for now 😉). Bringing this massive amount of data into one concise storyline was a challenge which definitly broadened my scientific horizon. cell.com/chem/fulltext/…
