{anndataR} aims to make the AnnData format a first-class citizen in
the R ecosystem, and to make it easy to work with AnnData files in R,
either directly or by converting it to a SingleCellExperiment or Seurat
object.
Feature list:
- Provide an
R6class to work with AnnData objects in R (either in-memory or on-disk). - Read/write
*.h5adfiles natively - Convert to/from
SingleCellExperimentobjects - Convert to/from
Seuratobjects
You can install the development version of {anndataR} like so:
devtools::install_github("scverse/anndataR")You might need to install suggested dependencies manually, depending on the task you want to perform.
- To read/write *.h5ad files, you need to install
rhdf5:
BiocManager::install("rhdf5") - To convert to/from
SingleCellExperimentobjects, you need to install SingleCellExperiment:
BiocManager::install("SingleCellExperiment") - To convert to/from
Seuratobjects, you need to install SeuratObject:
install.packages("SeuratObject")
You can also install all suggested dependencies at once (though note that this might take a while to run):
devtools::install_github("scverse/anndataR", dependencies = TRUE)Here’s a quick example of how to use {anndataR}. First, we download an
h5ad file.
library(anndataR)
h5ad_file <- system.file("extdata", "example.h5ad", package = "anndataR")Read an h5ad file:
adata <- read_h5ad(h5ad_file, to = "InMemoryAnnData")View structure:
