Natural Prodcast
Natural Prodcast is a podcast about natural products and the science and scientists of secondary metabolism. Natural products, secondary metabolites, specialized metabolites -- whatever you want to call them, they're the chemicals that make species unique and different from one another, and are incredibly important to medicine, the environment, and human health. Hosts Dan Udwary and Jackie Winter introduce concepts in this exciting field, and talk to the fascinating scientists who work in it. This series brought to you by the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute.

Natural Prodcast Ep 10 - A Primer on Genome Mining
This is one of our "Primer" episodes, in which Alison and Dan discuss the science of genome mining. We talk about the California Gold Rush (it's relevant! I promise!), talk about how genome sequencing has changed genome mining over the years, and we talk about a new publication out of the JGI in which Dan conducted genome mining on metagenome-derived genomes.
