gutSMASH allows the rapid genome-wide identification, annotation and analysis of specialized primary metabolic and energy-capturing-related gene clusters across anaerobic bacteria, with a special emphasis on the human gut microbiome. It is a specialized extension of the widely used antiSMASH tool, tailored specifically to target primary metabolites.
gutSMASH is powered by several open source tools: NCBI BLAST+, Diamond, HMMer 3, Muscle 3, PySVG, JQuery SVG, JQuery DataTables, InCHlib, and vis.js.
gutSMASH is the product of a collaborative effort between the Bioinformatics Group of Wageningen University & Research, the Department of Bioengineering and ChEM-H and the Department of Pathology at Stanford University.
