NPLinker is a python framework for data mining microbial natural products by integrating genomics and metabolomics data.

Original paper: Ranking microbial metabolomic and genomic links in the NPLinker framework using complementary scoring functions.

Setup and usage

Requirement

• Linux, MacOS or Windows with WSL
• Python version ≥3.11

Installation

NPLinker is a python package, using both pypi packages and non-pypi packages as dependencies. It requires ~4.5GB of disk space to install all the dependencies.

# Create a new virtual environment and activate it
conda create -n npl-3.11 python=3.11
conda activate npl-3.11 

# install from nplinker releases (requiring ~300MB of disk space)
pip install nplinker

# install nplinker non-pypi dependencies and databases (~4GB)
install-nplinker-deps

Testing

To run the tests, you need to clone this repo and install the development dependencies:

# Create a new virtual environment
conda create -n npl-3.11 python=3.11
conda activate npl-3.11

# Clone the repository and install the development dependencies
git clone https://github.com/NPLinker/nplinker.git
cd nplinker
pip install -e ".[dev]"
install-nplinker-deps

Unit tests

To run the unit tests, you can use the following command:

pytest

Pytest will use all available CPU cores to run the unit tests in parallel.

Integration tests

To run the integration tests, you can use the following command:

pytest -n1 tests/integration

The -n1 is to use one CPU core to run the tests. Change it to -n2 if you want to use two CPU cores to run in parallel.

Usage

See the documentation for more information about how to use NPLinker.
