geomux 0.5.2

A tool to assign identifiers to cell barcodes

geomux

A tool that assigns guides to cell barcodes.

Uses a hypergeometric distribution to calculate the pvalue of observing the specific count of a guide for each guide in each barcode. This can be used to calculate the MOI of the cell and assigned guides for each cell. The resulting dataframe can then be used to intersect with your original data to assign every cell to a barcode and allows you to filter for the MOI you're interested in working with.

Installation

geomux is distributed via uv

uv tool install geomux
geomux --help

Usage

Geomux can be used either as a commandline tool or as a python module

Geomux supports two modes of operation:

1. Hypergeometric testing
2. Gaussian Mixture Model testing

This can be set with the --method flag on the CLI or by using the relevant function (geomux or gaussian_mixture)

Commandline

when installing via uv, an executable will be placed in your bin path. So you can call it directly from wherever in your filesystem

# example usage
geomux <input.tab / input.h5ad>

You can also run the help flag to see the help menu for parameter options.

Python Module

Processing an h5ad file format

import anndata as ad
from geomux import geomux, gaussian_mixture

input = "filename.h5ad"

adata = ad.read_h5ad(input)

assignments_geomux = geomux(adata)
print(assignments_geomux)

assignments_mixture = gaussian_mixture(adata)
print(assignments_mixture)

Processing an gene x guide sparse matrix

import anndata as ad
from geomux import geomux

input = "filename.h5ad"

adata = ad.read_h5ad(input)
matrix = adata.X.tocsr()
assignments = geomux(matrix)
print(assignments)

Outputs

The results of geomux will be an assignment dataframe that has as many observations as there are input cells.

The columns of this dataframe will include:

Column Name	Description

submatrix_id	The numerical index of this cell in the filtered count matrix.
cell	The numerical index of this cell or the name of the cell if provided.
moi	The number of assigned guides for this cell.
n_umi	The number of total UMIs observed in the cell.
assignment	A '|' separated string of the assigned guides for this cell.
guide_ids_original	A '|' separated string of the assigned guide numerical indices.
umis	A '|' separated string of the assigned guide UMIs.
fdr	A '|' separated string of the false discovery rate of each assignment.
log_odds	A '|' separated string of the log-odds of each assignment.
tested	A bool designating whether this cell met the testing criteria.
