Ecosystem¶

Note

If you’d like to see your tool included here, please open a pull request!

With ecosystem, we mean the broader single-cell related tools that operate on AnnData. If your tool doesn’t do this, but is useful for analysing single cell data we also accept light wrappers for some tools in scanpy.external.

scvi-tools¶

scvi-tools Berkeley

scvi-tools hosts deep generative models (DGM) for end-to-end analysis of single-cell omics data (e.g., scVI, scANVI, totalVI). It also contains several primitives to build novel DGMs.
