The Biosynthetic Gene cluster Meta’omics abundance Profiler (BiG-MAP)

This is the Github repository for the Biosynthetic Gene cluster Meta’omics abundance Profiler (BiG-MAP). Metabolic Gene Clusters (MGCs) are responsible of the synthesis of small molecules, that are known to have a major impact on the host. To evaluate their contribution to a given host phenotype, it is important to assess the MGC abundance and expression profile in a given dataset. Thus, we have built BiG-MAP, a bioinformatic tool to profile abundance and expression levels of gene clusters across metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data and evaluate their differential abundance and expression between different conditions.
