Malva
Malva is a nucleotide sequence indexer that enables sequence search at single-cell and spatial resolution: query any sequence across millions of single cells, in seconds.
Malva powers Malva Index, a large collection of datasets spanning 75+ million human single cells. You can use the Malva Client API to connect to and query the Malva Index.
Code and binaries are freely available for academic non-profit use. See LICENSE for details.
What Malva Can Do
- Search any nucleotide sequence across single cells from your own datasets
- In silico probe-based detection of viral/bacterial transcripts, circular RNAs, splice variants, and mutations
Installation
Malva can be installed from pip.
pip install malva
Linux note: installing liburing is recommended for optimal I/O performance.
sudo apt-get install liburing2 # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install liburing # RHEL/Fedora
Malva will build and run without it, but I/O will fall back to standard pread.
Building from Source
Requires Python ≥ 3.9, a C++17 compiler, and Cython ≥ 3.0.
pip install poetry cython>=3.0 numpy setuptools wheel pkgconfig
pip install .
See the documentation for full build instructions, usage, and examples.
