Thank you very much! I am also interest to deep into BGCs families (like BigSlice) is there any downstream to anstismash tool or another pipeline?

What do you mean exactly?

In many studies antismash results can be used to run tools for BGCs families (in the same logic to protein families). ex https://github.com/medema-group/bigslice, and I am wondering if there is a pipeline or an extra feature that explore that

Ah got you!
BGC family analysis is not yet supported by funcscan (and I'm not aware of nf-core specific pipelines that do that), but there was some discussion a while ago about adding BiGSLICE support to funcscan at some point 🙂
So to answer your question: not at the moment within nf-core but maybe in the future
