This repository is used to port antiSMASH to be compatible with Python 3, along with mayor restructuring and code cleanup efforts. It is not feature-compatible with previous antiSMASH versions for now, and certainly is not production-quality code.
The development of antiSMASH was started as a collaboration of the Department of Microbial Physiology and Groningen Bioinformatics Centre of the University of Groningen, the Department of Microbiology of the University of Tübingen, and the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. With the move of the PIs and developers, development continues now at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, the Bioinformatics Group at Wageningen University and The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability in Lyngby.
antiSMASH development was/is supported by the GenBiotics program of the Dutch Technology Foundation (STW), which is the applied-science division of The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and the Technology Programme of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (grant STW 10463), GenBioCom program of the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) grant 0315585A, the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) and the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

If the genes flanking a cluster are known, this fork of antiSMASH is able to set the
boundaries of this cluster directly at the flanking genes. This automates manual cluster
trimming based on known boundary genes. It does not function when boundary genes are not
known.
Amino acid sequences of flanking genes at which to split a cluster need to be supplied in
FASTA format, and copied into the antismash/detection/dmz_cds/data directory.
