cytodataframe 0.1.0

An in-memory data analysis format for single-cell profiles alongside their corresponding images and segmentation masks.

CytoDataFrame

CytoDataFrame extends Pandas functionality to help display single-cell profile data alongside related images.

CytoDataFrame is an advanced in-memory data analysis format designed for single-cell profiling, integrating not only the data profiles but also their corresponding microscopy images and segmentation masks. Traditional single-cell profiling often excludes the associated images from analysis, limiting the scope of research. CytoDataFrame bridges this gap, offering a purpose-built solution for comprehensive analysis that incorporates both the data and images, empowering more detailed and visual insights in single-cell research.

CytoDataFrame is best suited for work within Jupyter notebooks. With CytoDataFrame you can:

• View image objects alongside their feature data using a Pandas DataFrame-like interface.
• Highlight image objects using mask or outline files to understand their segmentation.
• Adjust image displays on-the-fly using interactive slider widgets.

✨ CytoDataFrame development began within coSMicQC - a single-cell profile quality control package. Please check out our work there as well!
