Ever wondered about the funny moss growing on trees? Chances were good that you were looking at #lichen! These hybrid fungal-algae/cyanobacterial colonies are biosynthetically surprisingly diverse, as we show in our newest publication led by @garimasingh-gs.bsky.social doi.org/10.1099/mgen... (1/5)
Paired-omics-based exploration and characterization of biosynthetic diversity in lichenized fungi
The increasing demand for novel drug leads requires bioprospecting non-model taxa. Comparative genomics and correlative omics are a fast and efficient method for linking bioactive but genetically orph...

Are #lichens truly a treasure chest of #naturalproducts compared to non-lichenized #fungi? We put this to test using #BGC count as a proxy across ~400 #genomes.
Spoiler alert: They absolutely are!
