AnnData ↭ SingleCellExperiment
RPy2 converter from AnnData to SingleCellExperiment and back.
You can for example use it to process your data using both Scanpy and Seurat, as described in this example notebook
Installation
Install it directly from GitHub via pip
(version 19.0 or higher).
pip install git+https://github.com/flying-sheep/anndata2ri.git
You can install a locally checked out version with pip
or flit
:
cd anndata2ri
pip install .
# or
flit install
Usage from Python
Either use the converter manually …
import anndata2ri
from rpy2.robjects import r
from rpy2.robjects.conversion import localconverter
with localconverter(anndata2ri.create_converter()):
adata = r('as(some_data, "SingleCellExperiment")')
… or activate it globally:
import anndata2ri
from rpy2.robjects import r
anndata2ri.activate()
adata = r('as(some_data, "SingleCellExperiment")')
Usage from IPython
Activate the conversion before you load the extension:
import anndata2ri
anndata2ri.activate()
%load_ext rpy2.ipython
Now you can move objects from Python to R …
import scanpy.datasets as scd
adata_paul = scd.paul15()
%%R -i adata_paul
adata_paul # class: SingleCellExperiment ...
… and back:
%%R -o adata_allen
data(allen, package = 'scRNAseq')
adata_allen <- as(allen, 'SingleCellExperiment')
print(adata_allen) # AnnData object with ...
