MiST 4.0: a new release of the microbial signal transduction database, now with a metagenomic component.

ABSTRACT: Signal transduction systems in bacteria and archaea link environmental stimuli to specific adaptive cellular responses. They control gene expression, motility, biofilm formation, development and other processes that are vital to survival. The microbial signal transduction (MiST) database is an online resource that stores tens of thousands of genomes and allows users to explore their signal transduction profiles, analyze genomes in bulk using the database application programming interface (API) and make testable hypotheses about the functions of newly identified signaling systems. However, signal transduction in metagenomes remained completely unexplored. To lay the foundation for research in metagenomic signal transduction, we have prepared a new release of the MiST database, MiST 4.0, whi
