Natural Products Linker (NPLinker)

NPLinker aims to address the significant bottleneck that exists in the realization of the potential of genome-led metabolite discovery, namely the slow manual matching of predicted biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) with metabolites produced during bacterial culture; linking phenotype to genotype.

NPLinker implements a new data-centric approach to alleviate this linking problem by searching for patterns of strain presence and absence between groups of similar spectra (molecular families; MF) and groups of similar BGCs (gene cluster families; GCF). Searches can be performed using a number of available analysis methods employed in isolation or together.

Currently available analysis methods (scoring methods):

Setup and usage

NPLinker is a Python package, you can install it as following:

# create a new virtual environment
python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

# install nplinker package
pip install nplinker

# install nplinker non-pypi dependencies and databases
install-nplinker-deps

See the example in Jupyter notebook for a guided introduction to the NPLinker API which shows how to load and examine a dataset. Other notebooks are present showcasing other scoring methods, like for NPClassScore.

If you want to visualize and manipulate NPLinker predictions, check NPLinker Webapp for more info.
