Once installed, you can run the following to ensure ngmaster
is successfully working:
ngmaster --test
If everything works, you will see the following:

NGMASTER: in silico multi-antigen sequence typing for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG-MAST)
GitHub: https://github.com/MDU-PHL/ngmaster
positional arguments:
FASTA input FASTA files eg. fasta1, fasta2, fasta3 ... fastaN
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--db DB specify custom directory containing allele databases
directory must contain database sequence files (.tfa) and allele profile files (ngmast.txt / ngstar.txt)
in mlst format (see <https://github.com/tseemann/mlst#adding-a-new-scheme>)
--csv output comma-separated format (CSV) rather than tab-separated
--printseq FILE specify filename to save allele sequences to
--minid MINID DNA percent identity of full allele to consider 'similar' [~]
--mincov MINCOV DNA percent coverage to report partial allele at [?]
--updatedb update NG-MAST and NG-STAR allele databases from <https://rest.pubmlst.org/db/pubmlst_neisseria_seqdef>
--assumeyes assume you are certain you wish to update db
--test run test example
--comments include NG-STAR comments for each allele in output
--version show program's version number and exit
To perform in silico NG-MAST and NG-STAR typing on FASTA files:
$ ngmaster <fasta1> <fasta2> <fasta3> ... <fastaN>
The NG-MAST and NG-STAR results and allele numbers are printed in tab-separated format to stdout
.
ngmaster
reports alleles according to the same rules that are implemented inmlst
.mlst
's arguments--minid
and--mincov
are available directly inngmaster
- For each allele n:
Symbol | Meaning | Length | Identity |
---|---|---|---|
n |
exact intact allele | 100% | 100% |
~n |
novel full length allele similar to n | 100% | ≥ --minid |
n? |
partial match to known allele | ≥ --mincov |
≥ --minid |
- |
allele missing | < --mincov |
< --minid |
n,m |
multiple alleles |
To save results to a tab-separated text file, redirect stdout
:
$ ngmaster <fasta1> <fasta2> <fasta3> ... <fastaN> > results.txt
To display results in comma-separated format, use the --csv
option:
$ ngmaster --csv <fasta1> <fasta2> <fasta3> ... <fastaN>
To save sequences of the alleles to a file (eg. for uploading "new" sequences to PubMLST):
$ ngmaster --printseq [filename] <fasta1> <fasta2> <fasta3> ... <fastaN>
This will create two files:
NGMAST__filename
NGSTAR__filename
To update the allele databases from PubMLST:
Warning: This will overwrite the existing databases so ensure you back them up if you wish to keep them.
$ ngmaster.py --updatedb
A copy of the old database is saved just in case, but is overwritten with each subsequent --updatedb
.
To update the allele databases into a different folder (ie. not the /db folder in the ngmaster directory):
$ ngmaster.py --updatedb --db path/to/folder
This will download the database files into the folder path/to/folder
.
This can then be specified when running ngmaster using the --db path/to/folder
option.
To create a custom allele database please follow the instructions for creating a custom mlst
database
described here.
Usually, this should not be necessary, simply run ngmaster --update
to update to the latest NG-MAST and NG-STAR schemes from PubMLST.

When incrementing version (i.e., minor patch), run the following:
bumpversion --verbose --dry-run --new-version <major.minor.patch> patch
bumpversion --new-version <new.version.number> patch
The same can be done for minor
and major
numbers.
This will automatically commit and tag the commit with the new version number. It will also update the necessary location in the file.
Must be uploaded to maintainer's account.
bumpversion --new-version <new.version.number> <patch|minor|major>
