DOI PyPI PyPI - Downloads GitHub last commit Push Tests Compatibility Tests Code Coverage

cellxgene (pronounced "cell-by-gene") is an interactive data explorer for single-cell transcriptomics datasets, such as those coming from the Human Cell Atlas. Leveraging modern web development techniques to enable fast visualizations of at least 1 million cells, we hope to enable biologists and computational researchers to explore their data.

Whether you need to visualize one thousand cells or one million, cellxgene helps you gain insight into your single-cell data.

    better error display for unsupported browsers

    We see occasional users attempt to use cellxgene with unsupported browsers (eg, IE on Win 7). It would be nice if the front-end could present the user with something other than a hard failure.

    How to specify custom palette for a category?

    Hello! cellxgene is looking great! I just got a brief demo from @colinmegill and one of my questions is, how can one specify a custom color palette for a particular category? For example, for the paper we had this palette in a centralized place that we could grab, but could also have as a column in the scanpy anndata object. If there was e.g. cell_ontology_class and cell_ontology_class_color columns, would that work? Warmest, Olga

  • Opening a dataset on hosted should default to coloring by the first category in LSB

    Opening a dataset on hosted should default to coloring by the first category in LSB

    Hi cellxgene-Team!

    A small, but effective addition would be to allow a cell label to be colored by default. This would aid a user that visits the (hosted) instance for the first time by directly pointing him/her to an important aspect of the data (e.g. coloring by a celltype label).

    Along this line, the toggle to show labels (btw an amazing addition from 0.14!) could be allowed to be switched on by default as well.

    Let me know what you think!

    Best, Jens

  • [BUG] Cellxpose returns 400 Bas request for some requests if data is 16-bit

    [BUG] Cellxpose returns 400 Bas request for some requests if data is 16-bit

    Describe the bug

    Try saving test file after converting to fp16:

    adata.X = adata.X.astype('float16')
    

    Server normally starts when given this data (but prints some warnigns about conversion from 64bits).

    However when you select gene or run differential expression, 400 appears.

    Version affected: 0.17.0, within docker

    In my case cellxgene first downloads file from the cloud, so 16bit format for storage is very reasonable - almost halves the space.

  • http error in cellxgene 16,02 (docker)

    http error in cellxgene 16,02 (docker)

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to load a .h5ad with a lot of columns (all categorical).

    However, I get an http error when I try to load cellxgene (see screenshot attached).

    cellxgene_error

    This issue already occurred to me with 16.02 on a smaller dataset and I found that it was an issue with a single column that had to be renamed and reparsed (i.e.: changing the column name to "Cluster rather than "Orig_Cluster" and changing the values from Cluster_X to X )

    I wonder whether this is an issue that occurred only to me or it is a known bug.

    PS: I am running cellXgene in a docker container

    Cheers,

    Daniele

  • Ability to plot embeddings that NaN values

    Ability to plot embeddings that NaN values

    In working with [email protected] to remix his neuronal AD dataset for Corpora, we came upon the issue of visualizing subcluster embeddings that only have coordinate values for a subpopulation of cells. The solution we would like is to fill the other cell coordinates with NaNs and cellxgene would plot only the cells with numerical coordinates for each embedding. Currently, cellxgene shows a blank plot if there are any np.nan or np.inf in the embedding.

    Previous issue identifying the "bug": #1118


    Update: cellxgene will now accept embeddings containing a NaN value. +/- Inf continue to be rejected. This issue is left open as we are still working out how to improve the UX experience for embeddings with NaN values.

  • Create Truncation Component

    Create Truncation Component

    Across the app, we practice truncating large strings by taking a slice of some size out of the middle of the string and replacing it with ellipses. The number of truncations needed throughout the app has begun to grow and the work associated with keeping the methodology between instances has been growing with it.

    This PR introduces a Truncation component in the new dir: client/src/components/util/. Given a single child holding text and a width style, the component calculates whether the text needs truncation and truncates to the largest fitting size.

  • --layout CLI param help confusing

    --layout CLI param help confusing

    the help text for --layout is confusing - it should clearly state that not specifying a layout will make all embeddings in the dataset available, and that specifying layout names will restrict options to those specified.

    Changes to be made:

    • [x] CLI parameter --layout modified to accept N embedding names (rather than the current restriction of one). Any specified will present in the web UI. Default, if not specified, is to present all embeddings.
    • [x] CLI parameter --layout changes to --embedding. Help and error text in the CLI change corresponding.
    • [x] UI text changes from layout to embedding (eg, in the menu used to select an embedding)

  • Regraph/Reset user story

    Regraph/Reset user story

    We need to nail down user stories for Regraph/Reset in the first release.

    Issues to consider:

    • should there be async / batch compute triggered by front-end (web UI), or should it all be done on the CLI with the cellxgene wrapper script?
    • what are the core use cases for regraph/reset and what workflow do we want for those use cases?
    • how much persistent state do we mandate for re-layout (vs. on-demand compute)?

    Scanpy re-layout is fast when NN are already computed. Very slow when not. Should the web UI drive both, or make assumptions about some already existing & persisted?

    ^ @freeman-lab - please add your thoughts.

  • Error with launching cellxgene after manually adding metadata to AnnData file (.h5ad)

    Error with launching cellxgene after manually adding metadata to AnnData file (.h5ad)

    Hi,

    I have an AnnData file adata.h5ad file with certain columns in adata.obs. I have some more metadata that I would like to add to adata.obs. I follow some simple steps and recommendations provided online to add these columns to adata.obs

    # df_annot - pandas dataframe with annotations/columns I would like to add
    # df_annot has identical index as adata.obs
    adata.obs = pd.concat([adata.obs,df_annot],axis=1)
    

    Note: I am using cellxgene==0.14.1 The launching of original adata.h5ad using cellxgene works using the following command - cellxgene launch adata.obs --port 8000 --disable-diffexp

    However, when I try to launch adata.h5ad after having added additional columns (metadata) to adata.obs using the same command, I get the following error -

    Error: 'dict' object has no attribute 'dtype' - file not found or is inaccessible.  File must be an .h5ad object.  Please check your input and try again.
    

    Initially, I thought there might be an issue with how I am adding metadata/columns to AnnData file - adata.obs. I explored further by re-reading the modified h5ad file using scanpy (sc.read_h5ad) and processing it further by performing steps like ranking gene groups (sc.tl.rank_genes_groups). These steps were successful, so it seems unlikely that this is an AnnData (.h5ad) file issue.

    Would love to hear your thoughts on where the issue might be arising from and what would be the best way to debug and getting it to work.

  • differential expression with low number of genes

    differential expression with low number of genes

    Dear cellxgene team, first of all, thank you for developing and maintaining such a nice tool!

    I am trying to analyze a citeseq dataset with cellxgene. The difference here is that instead of cells vs. genes, I have cells vs. a low number of antibodies. In my case 42. Anyway, whenever I try to do a differential analysis on the data I get the following popup: grafik The number of selected cells doesn't seem to make a difference and everything else works fine.

    With a bit of trial and error on a different dataset I could confirm that differential expression only seems to work for > 50 genes. Also, I found this pull request #2130 which might be related.

    • Improvement to lasso “can close” visual feedback #1550
    • Categorial UI improvements including support for renaming the annotations file #1649, #1660
    • Support for re-embedding #1679 - experimental. Functionality may change in the future.

    Changed

    • Show single value instead of entire histogram if the minimum and the maximum are the same #1554
    • Major refactor to use lazy data loading from the server side using react-async #1571

    Fixed

    • Added a workaround to accommodate a bug in AnnData make_index_unique that does not work under certain conditions. #1260
    • Assorted small UI fixes: proper truncation #1320
    • Various histogram fixes like x-axis labeling #1363, performance improvement #1390

    Source code(zip)
  • 0.15.0(Mar 13, 2020)

    Summary: 0.15 resolves incompatibilities with the current anndata/scanpy releases, improves ontology-driven label input in user annotations, moves annotations to a supported feature, and resolves a number of miscellaneous bugs and UI issues.

    Added:

    • User annotations feature has moved to a fully supported feature, and is no longer experimental (nb. command line params have changed, and annotations are enabled by default - see documentation for more information).

    • Experimental support for ontology-driven annotation/label input was further enhanced. Users can now pick from an ontology or define their own label in a single dialog, and ontologies are available for both label and category creation and editing.

    • Code coverage reports added to the github repo CI pipeline

    • Significant additions to unit & smoke tests and configuration testing in the CI pipeline

    • Added experimental support computed re-embedding on user-selected cell sets.

    • Better handling of annotations with very large number of categorical values.

    Changed:

    • Resolved incompatibility with annata 0.7 and remove pinned Python dependencies for anndata, h5py and tables modules. This resolves several compatibility issues with H5AD files. #1157, #1202

    • Reset UI replaced with Subset and Unsubset (#1183), and unsubset no longer deletes genes in the right side bar (fixes #1171).

    • Work in preparation for a web-hosted cellxgene (not yet available or complete), including:

      • Incremental loading of data on the front end

      • Refactoring the back-end to support a cloud-native data format built upon tiledb.

      • #1140, #1163, #1200

    • Javascript and Python package dependencies updated.

    • Variety of small UI improvements throughout the application, including more readable data labels on the main graph (#1141, #1160), better handling of long strings (#1206), improved enable/disable state on buttons, etc.

    Fixed:

    • Datasets with more than 32 annotations would occasionally cause the crossfilter to get confused, and selection state to be lost (#1162)

    • Undo/redo was not working correctly with color-by-annotation and other UI actions (#1165)

  • 0.14.0(Jan 28, 2020)

    Summary: 0.14.0 adds ontology-based autosuggestions to the experimental annotation feature, category labeling in the main graph/embedding, and a number of bug fixes and incremental improvements.

    Added:

    • The experimental annotations feature is augmented with the ability to autosuggest labels from an ontology. Ontology is specified from an .obo file. See the --experimental-annotations-ontology command line flag.
    • Main embedding (graph) display enhanced with the ability to display category names over the center of the constituent cells. Enabled/disabled by a new UI button in the button bar.
    • When launched, cellxgene will inform users when a new version is available on PyPi.org. This check may be bypassed with the new --no-upgrade-check command line option.

    Changed:

    • Labels / names in the user interface will now display in a sorted order, including embedding names, annotation names, and categorical annotation values.
    • Various internal build updates and improvements.
    • Fonts needed by the application are now served by the internal web server, rather than relying on internet connectivity.
    • Javascript and Python package dependencies updated.
    • FAQ link removed from Info menu
    • All large histograms will now have a consistent number of bins (PR #1086)
    • User-created annotations may now contain additional characters (now allow alphanumeric, plus -_.() and single spaces. Fixes issue #1113.
    • The recent 0.7.* release of the anndata module is incompatible with cellxgene. This release pins the anndata dependency to 0.6.22post1 (the most recent compatible version).

    Fixed:

    • A significant number of bug fixes to experimental annotations, including #1050, #1057, #1036, #1055 and others.
    • Annotation file name, specified by --experimental-annotations-file, will now allow file names containing a hyphen. Fixes issue #1072
    • Fixed bug which would cause user-created annotations to lose the (mandatory) unassigned category. Fixes issue #1090
    • Various layout and whitespace improvements throughout the app.
    • Added missing python requests package to requirements.
    • Fixed bug that would crash if the user created an annotation name which was the same as another existing annotation name. Fixes issue #1112
    • Ensure that all user-created annotation labels are correctly saved, without transformation, to the annotations CSV file. There were several labels (eg, 'nan') which would not be saved correctly to the annotations CSV file. Fixes issue #1111.
    • Some sequences of actions caused the undo button to behave unpredictably. This is fixed by #1099

  • 0.13.0(Nov 27, 2019)

    Summary: 0.13.0 introduces a layout change, moving all continuous data histograms into a dedicated panel: the "right side bar". In addition, 0.13.0 includes significant improvements and bug fixes to the experimental "user annotation" feature.

    Added:

    • Introduced a "right side bar" containing all continuous metadata and gene expression histograms.
    • [Experimental feature, may be incomplete or unstable] Significant improvements to the user annotation functionality, allowing users to annotate groups of cells with categorical metadata:
      • Command line options related to annotation renamed and reorganized -- see cellxgene launch --help for usage.
      • Added simple multi-user support for hosted instances of cellxgene, to avoid the possibility of users over-writing each others’ metadata.
      • Add a provenance header to the annotations output CSV file.
      • Many bug fixes, usability and stability improvements.

    Changed:

    • Command line option --skip-qc/--run-qc (a toggle) changed to a flag named --skip-qc.
    • Command line help (via the --help option) improved.
    • Reorganized and improved cellxgene documentation, available at https://chanzuckerberg.github.io/cellxgene/.
    • Javascript and Python package dependencies updated.
    • Dockerfile now contains python-requests package (#1019).
    • Migrate from deprecated Pandas API (#1021).

    Fixed:

    • Various layout issues resolved throughout app.

  • 0.12.0(Oct 8, 2019)

    Summary: this release adds three major features, in addition to a number of bug fixes and other features:

    • The location of the H5AD file may be specified as a URL, in addition to the currently supported file path
    • Anndata "backed" mode is supported via --backed command line option
    • A new experimental feature: the ability to create new categorical metadata for cells, aka cell annotations.

    Added

    • cellxgene launch command now accepts a URL as well as file paths. Example: "cellxgene launch http://…" Supports HTTP, HTTPS, and with optional package installations, S3 and GS URLs. (#920)
    • New command line option, --backed, will load H5AD file in "backed" mode. This uses less memory, and loads faster. However, it will dramatically increase the time required to load expression histograms or compute differential expression. This feature is most useful to explore metadata and embeddings for very large datasets, or to load only the embedding and metadata on computers with limited memory. This mode is diabled by default.
    • New command line option, --about, provides a means to link out to more information about the dataset. The link provided on the command line will appear in the application info menu, and as a link in the dataset title (upper left, next to logo) (#907)
    • New command line option, --disable-diffexp, will cause on-demand differential expression (top N gene finding) to be disabled in the application. This is useful when exploring very large datasets, where the differential expression calculation is likely to be extremely slow or unusable due to memory exhaustion. Differential expression is enabled by default.
    • Hovering the cursor over a category name will highlight cells in the gene expression scatterplot (previously only highlighted cells in the embedding graph). (#900)
    • [Experimental feature, may be incomplete or unstable] Added capability to label cells with new metadata (categorical annotations). This feature is enabled with the "--experimental-label-file" command line option, which requires a CSV file name. User-created metadata will be saved to this file. We would love feedback on this feature - please submit via GitHub issues.

    Changed

    • Pip install for prepare sub-command is now separate from default installation. If you wish to use prepare, install via pip install cellxgene[prepare]. See getting started guide for more info. (#887, #889)
    • Improved layout when strings are long. Will now break/truncate data set title, category name, etc. (#858, #909)
    • Improved the formatting for histogram axis labels, better handling of large numbers (#913)
    • Significant improvements to the embedding and gene expression plots, including reduction in CPU usage, zoom/pan constraints, a new rendering method designed to highlight meaningful data and improve overall usability/visibility (#893)
    • Miscellaneous improvements to documentation and README (#878, #857, #880)
    • Python and Javascript package updates, for both security and performance
    • Rename "layout" to "embedding" in the UI (#921)

    Fixed

    • Category-specific mini histograms were computed incorrectly in some cases (#869)
    • Remove pinned matplotlib version, and resolve incompatibility by installing scanpy earlier in the dependency list (so it specifies the matplotlib dependency).
    • H5py dependency pinned to 2.9.0 to temporarily work around regression reading older anndata files (scanpy issue #832). This will be removed in a future release. (#916).
    • Fixed several bugs in gene adding (both in bulk and autosuggest). Improved performance for datasets with a very large number of continuous metadata fields.

  • 0.11.2(Aug 14, 2019)

  • 0.11.0(Jul 16, 2019)

    Summary

    This release implements a requested cellxgene feature: histograms on categorical values vis a vis continuous (see: #762, #616). Color by any continuous variable, like a gene, and see the breakdown of distributions by opening any categorical menu item. This answers questions such as “which clusters expressed which gene?” “What was the breakdown of total gene counts by tissue?” among others.

    Added

    Added mini histograms to categorical selection, displaying continuous metadata distribution (#827) Added prepare example, updated demo dataset (#810, #803, #547, #529) Documentation regarding hosted instances (#807) Hover on label increases point size of associated cells in graph (#809 #833)

    Changed

    Updated roadmap (#825) Menu bar code cleanup, logo (#804)

    Fixed

    Fixed broken URL in docs (#801, #802) Fixed jest tests by removing async (#805)

    • Add logo to UI (#782)

    Changed

    • Python anndata version dependency updated to >= 0.6.20, resolving the incompatibility with the most recent SciPy release (see anndata issue #146 for details). Also removed the temporary work-around on scipy version requirements introduced in 0.9.3.
    • Updated most javascript package dependencies (#765)
    • Use anndata to read h5ad files in launch, rather than the ScanPy API wrapper around AnnData. Improves startup speed. (#763)
    • Layout of embedding visualization improved. All points will display upon load, and scaling behavior is improved when the window size changes. (#655, #768, #776, #789)
    • Pan/zoom scaling is now 1:1 (#722)
    • Various testing & CI framework improvements (#777, #772, #757)
    • CLI --debug option will generate an error if used with --port option. If you just want verbose error logging, try --verbose.
