title: A chemical epigenetics approach for engineering the in situ biosynthesis of a cryptic natural product from Aspergillus niger.
abstract: A new fungal metabolite, nygerone A (), featuring a unique 1-phenylpyridin-4(1H)-one core that had previously not been reported from any natural source, has been obtained from Aspergillus niger using a chemical epigenetics methodology.
