AmbiDose

AmbiDose removes ambient RNA from droplet scRNA-seq. Empty droplets estimate the soup profile χ. Each cell receives an operational dose d_c = ρ_c · n_c. Type-aware subtraction writes non-negative integer counts. The method does not correct batch effects or assign cell types.

Docs: Read the Docs.

Install

pip install ambidose
# or: conda install -c conda-forge -c bioconda ambidose

Python 3.10–3.13. A GPU is not required. Details: installation.

First run

import scanpy as sc
import ambidose as amdose

adata = sc.read_10x_mtx("filtered_feature_bc_matrix/")
adata = amdose.denoise(adata, raw="raw_feature_bc_matrix.h5", sample_key=None)
# adata.X is denoised integer UMI; original counts in layers["raw_counts"]

ambidose denoise --input /path/to/outs --output cleaned.h5ad

Treat rho as an operational dose. Check obs["ambidose_rho_trust"] and the QC report before using it as a contamination rate.

Status

0.3.1 (Alpha). Import as import ambidose as amdose. The entry point is denoise(). See the API reference.
