SUPERCLUSTER MIXERS. “Preliminary data suggests that one organizational mechanism makes use of transposons to duplicate or move DNA segments (that code for protein domains) into existing biosynthetic genes. This mechanism could move new genes into existing natural product gene clusters or could move an entire gene cluster of one natural product class…close to that of another class, such that the expression of the “supercluster” becomes coupled and gives rise to a hybrid-type natural product.”
