Summary
This article presents COMMBAT, a web platform designed to explore expression control of biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in bacterial genomes. BGCs are responsible for producing structurally diverse natural products. The platform provides tools for analyzing and understanding how these gene clusters are regulated at the expression level, enabling researchers to study natural product biosynthesis more effectively.
