covarying neighborhood analysis
Project description
cna
Covarying neighborhood analysis is a method for finding structure in- and conducting association analysis with multi-sample single-cell datasets. cna
does not require a pre-specified transcriptional structure such as a clustering of the cells in the dataset. It aims instead to flexibly identify differences of all kinds between samples. cna
is fast, does not require parameter tuning, produces measures of statistical significance for its association analyses, and allows for covariate correction.
cna
is built on top of scanpy
and offers a scanpy
-like interface for ease of use.
installation
To use cna
, you can either install it directly from the Python Package Index by running, e.g.,
pip install cna
or if you'd like to manipulate the source code you can clone this repository and add it to your PYTHONPATH
.
demo
Take a look at our tutorial to see how to get started with a small synthetic data set.
