MMCCI: Multi-platform, Multi-sample Cell-Cell Interaction Integrative Analysis of Single Cell and Spatial Data

Package
Paper
License

MMCCI is a fast and lightweight Python package for integrating and visualizing CCI networks within and between multiple platforms at the level of the individual LR pair. It works on scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics data samples that have been processed through the following CCI algorithms:

1. stLearn
2. CellChat
3. CellPhoneDB
4. NATMI
5. Squidpy

Getting Started

Installation

MMCCI can be installed with pip

pip install mmcci

Documentation

Documentation and Tutorials are available here and we are commited to maintaining the software and addressing issues raised by users.

• There is a brain aging tutorial notebook here
• There is a melanoma tutorial notebook here
• To understand how to load CCI results from different tools, look at this notebook here

CCI Integration

MMCCI allows users to integrate multiple CCI results together, both:

1. Samples from a single platform (eg. Visium)
2. Samples from multiple platforms (eg. Visium, Xenium and CosMX)

CCI Analysis

MMCCI provides multiple useful analyses that can be run on the integrated networks or from a single sample:

1. Network comparison between groups with permutation testing
2. CLustering of LR pairs with similar networks
3. Clustering of spots/cells with similar interaction scores
4. Sender-receiver LR querying
5. GSEA pathway analysis
