Beta MetaTiME: annotate TME scRNA cell states

MetaTiME: Meta-components in Tumor immune MicroEnvironment

MetaTiME learns data-driven, interpretable, and reproducible gene programs by integrating millions of single cells from hundreds of tumor scRNA-seq data. The idea is to learn a map of single-cell space with biologically meaningful directions from large-scale data, which helps understand functional cell states and transfers knowledge to new data analysis. MetaTiME provides pretrained meta-components (MeCs) to automatically annotate fine-grained cell states and plot signature continuum for new single-cells of tumor microenvironment.

Installation

Create a new virtual env and activate (optional)

python -m venv metatime-env; source metatime-env/bin/activate

Use pip to install

pip install metatime

Installation shall be in minutes .

Next we have a tutorial on applying MetaTiME on new TME scRNAseq data to annotate cell states, scoring signature continuum, and test differential signature activity.
