Scanpy – Single-Cell Analysis in Python

Scanpy is a scalable toolkit for analyzing single-cell gene expression data built jointly with anndata. It includes preprocessing, visualization, clustering, trajectory inference and differential expression testing. The Python-based implementation efficiently deals with datasets of more than one million cells.

Features

  • filter_rank_genes_groups() now allows to filter with absolute values of log fold change PR 1649 S Rybakov

  • _choose_representation now subsets the provided representation to n_pcs, regardless of the name of the provided representation (should affect mostly neighbors()) PR 2179 I Virshup PG Majev

  • scanpy.external.pp.scrublet() (and related functions) can now be used on AnnData objects containing multiple batches PR 1965 J Manning

  • Dask arrays now work with scanpy.pp.normalize_total() PR 1663 G Buckley, I Virshup

  • embedding_density() now allows more than 10 groups PR 1936 A Wolf

  • Embedding plots can now pass colorbar_loc to specify the location of colorbar legend, or pass None to not show a colorbar PR 1821 A Schaar I Virshup

  • Embedding plots now have a dimensions argument, which lets users select which dimensions of their embedding to plot and uses the same broadcasting rules as other arguments PR 1538 I Virshup
