From: Bioinformatic exploration of RiPP biosynthetic gene clusters in lichens
Overview of total biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and distribution of RiPPs in the selected species. (a) Relative abundance of the 6,642 BGCs identified in our dataset. RiPPs constitute 17% of the total BGCs. Other major BGC classes detected are - PKSs: Polyketide synthases; NRPSs: nonribosomal peptide synthetases; terpenes and Hybrid: hybrid chemical products of nonribosomal peptides and polyketide synthases. (b) A phylogenetic tree inferred from universal single-copy genes showing the distribution of RiPP biosynthetic gene clusters across taxa, depicted as blue bars. Genome completeness (G. completeness) is shown using a heatmap. The number of RiPP BGCs varies greatly among lichen-forming fungi.
