Sequencing actinomycete genomes has revealed an unexpected complexity. Systems Biology has opened access to the untapped chemical diversity encoded within the global microbial genome, including the vast majority (>99%) of taxa that are currently deemed unculturable, and a wealth of bioactive genes that are currently silent (untranslated) under standard cultivation condition.
