similarity between biosynthetic gene clusters

Hi everyone
I'm annotating a large number of genomes from bacterial isolates, and interested in looking at the biosynthetic gene cluster similarities among them (see image attached). Do you recommend any specific softwares (ideally user-friendly or web-served based and minimum coding) to achieve similar graphs like this one?

Hello again Rosa,

I have not used this tool before, but antiSMASH looks interesting

If you have the right output files, check out Bandage

I just found this one on GitHub, and this looks really good! This might not be a good fit for you as it's an R package (not web based), but hopefully others might find it useful.
