Recent investigations on the discovery, enhancement, and non-natural use of these biosynthetic gene clusters via computational biology, metabolic engineering, structural biology, and enzymology-guided approaches have facilitated improved access to designer polyketides. Here, we discuss recent successes in gene cluster discovery, host strain engineering, precursor-directed biosynthesis, combinatorial biosynthesis, polyketide tailoring, and high-throughput synthetic biology, as well as challenges and outlooks for rapidly generating useful target polyketides.}, journal={Current Opinion in Chemical Biology}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Malico, Alexandra A. and Nichols, Lindsay and Williams, Gavin J.}, year={2020}, month={Oct}, pages={45–53} }
