Over the last years, the increasing availability of genome sequencing data has led to a rise in experimentally confirmed links between NPs and their BGCs. To capture this information in a standardized, systematic, and machine-readable way, dedicated data formats have been developed. One such format is the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene Cluster (MIBiG) data standard . Conceptualized in 2015, it follows the previously developed Minimum Information about any Sequence (MIxS) framework of the Genomics Standards Consortium .
