Version 1.6#

1.6.0 2020-08-15#

This release includes an overhaul of dotplot(), matrixplot(), and stacked_violin() (#1210 F Ramirez), and of the internals of rank_genes_groups() (#1156 S Rybakov).

Overhaul of dotplot(), matrixplot(), and stacked_violin() #1210 F Ramirez#

  • An overhauled tutorial Core plotting functions.

  • New plotting classes can be accessed directly (e.g., DotPlot) or using the return_fig param.

  • It is possible to plot log fold change and p-values in the rank_genes_groups_dotplot() family of functions.

  • Added ax parameter which allows embedding the plot in other images.

  • Added option to include a bar plot instead of the dendrogram containing the cell/observation totals per category.

  • Return a dictionary of axes for further manipulation. This includes the main plot, legend and dendrogram to totals

  • Legends can be removed.

  • The groupby param can take a list of categories, e.g., groupby=[‘tissue’, ‘cell type’].

  • Added padding parameter to dotplot and stacked_violin. #1270

  • Added title for colorbar and positioned as in dotplot for matrixplot().

  • dotplot() changes:

    • Improved the colorbar and size legend for dotplots. Now the colorbar and size have titles, which can be modified using the colorbar_title and size_title params. They also align at the bottom of the image and do not shrink if the dotplot image is smaller.

    • Allow plotting genes in rows and categories in columns (swap_axes).

    • Using DotPlot, the dot_edge_color and line width can be modified, a grid can be added, and other modifications are enabled.

    • A new style was added in which the dots are replaced by an empty circle and the square behind the circle is colored (like in matrixplots).

  • stacked_violin() changes:

    • Violin colors can be colored based on average gene expression as in dotplots.

    • The linewidth of the violin plots is thinner.

    • Removed the tics for the y-axis as they tend to overlap with each other. Using the style method they can be displayed if needed.

1.5.0 2020-05-15#

The 1.5.0 release adds a lot of new functionality, much of which takes advantage of anndata updates 0.7.0 - 0.7.2. Highlights of this release include support for spatial data, dedicated handling of graphs in AnnData, sparse PCA, an interface with scvi, and others.

Spatial data support#

  • Tutorials for basic analysis and integration with single cell data G Palla

  • read_visium() read 10x Visium data #1034 G Palla, P Angerer, I Virshup

New functionality#

External tools#

  • scanpy.external.pp.scvi for preprocessing with scVI #1085 G Xing

  • score_genes() now has an efficient implementation for sparse matrices with missing values #1196 redst4r.

Warning

The new pca() implementation can result in slightly different results for sparse matrices. See the pr (#1066) and documentation for more info.

1.3.1 2018-09-03#

RNA velocity in single cells [La Manno et al., 2018]#

  • Scanpy and AnnData support loom’s layers so that computations for single-cell RNA velocity [La Manno et al., 2018] become feasible S Rybakov and V Bergen

  • scvelo harmonizes with Scanpy and is able to process loom files with splicing information produced by Velocyto [La Manno et al., 2018], it runs a lot faster than the count matrix analysis of Velocyto and provides several conceptual developments

Plotting (Generic)#

  • dotplot() for visualizing genes across conditions and clusters, see here #199 F Ramirez

  • heatmap() for pretty heatmaps #175 F Ramirez

  • violin() produces very compact overview figures with many panels #175 F Ramirez

There now is a section on imputation in external:#

Version 1.2#

1.2.1 2018-06-08#

Plotting of Generic marker genes and quality control.#

1.2.0 2018-06-08#

  • paga() improved, see PAGA; the default model changed, restore the previous default model by passing model='v1.0'

Version 1.1#

1.1.0 2018-06-01#

Version 1.0#

1.0.0 2018-03-30#

Major updates#

  • Scanpy is much faster and more memory efficient: preprocess, cluster and visualize 1.3M cells in 6h, 130K cells in 14min, and 68K cells in 3min A Wolf

  • the API gained a preprocessing function neighbors() and a class Neighbors() to which all basic graph computations are delegated A Wolf

Warning

Upgrading to 1.0 isn’t fully backwards compatible in the following changes

  • the graph-based tools louvain() dpt() draw_graph() umap() diffmap() paga() require prior computation of the graph: sc.pp.neighbors(adata, n_neighbors=5); sc.tl.louvain(adata) instead of previously sc.tl.louvain(adata, n_neighbors=5)

  • install numba via conda install numba, which replaces cython

  • the default connectivity measure (dpt will look different using default settings) changed. setting method='gauss' in sc.pp.neighbors uses gauss kernel connectivities and reproduces the previous behavior, see, for instance in the example paul15.

  • namings of returned annotation have changed for less bloated AnnData objects, which means that some of the unstructured annotation of old AnnData files is not recognized anymore

  • replace occurances of group_by with groupby (consistency with pandas)

  • it is worth checking out the notebook examples to see changes, e.g. the seurat example.

  • upgrading scikit-learn from 0.18 to 0.19 changed the implementation of PCA, some results might therefore look slightly different

Further updates#

  • UMAP [McInnes et al., 2018] can serve as a first visualization of the data just as tSNE, in contrast to tSNE, UMAP directly embeds the single-cell graph and is faster; UMAP is also used for measuring connectivities and computing neighbors, see neighbors() A Wolf

  • graph abstraction: AGA is renamed to PAGA: paga(); now, it only measures connectivities between partitions of the single-cell graph, pseudotime and clustering need to be computed separately via louvain() and dpt(), the connectivity measure has been improved A Wolf

  • logistic regression for finding marker genes rank_genes_groups() with parameter method='logreg' A Wolf

  • louvain() provides a better implementation for reclustering via restrict_to A Wolf

  • scanpy no longer modifies rcParams upon import, call settings.set_figure_params to set the ‘scanpy style’ A Wolf

  • default cache directory is ./cache/, set settings.cachedir to change this; nested directories in this are avoided A Wolf

  • show edges in scatter plots based on graph visualization draw_graph() and umap() by passing edges=True A Wolf

  • downsample_counts() for downsampling counts MD Luecken

  • default 'louvain_groups' are called 'louvain' A Wolf

  • 'X_diffmap' contains the zero component, plotting remains unchanged A Wolf
