monocle3-python 1.4.26

Python port of the R monocle3 package (tracks cole-trapnell-lab/monocle3 1.4.26 @ 4f4239a) — AnnData-based single-cell trajectory, clustering, and differential expression.

monocle3-python

Python port of the R monocle3 single-cell trajectory toolkit. Tracks upstream 1.4.26 at commit 4f4239a.

The port keeps monocle3's orchestration and R-side numerical behaviour while replacing the cell_data_set S4 container with anndata.AnnData and delegating non-monocle-specific algorithms to the scverse ecosystem (umap-learn, openTSNE, leidenalg, statsmodels, scanorama, …).

Installation

pip install monocle3-python                # from PyPI

For local development:

git clone https://github.com/Bio-Babel/Monocle3-python.git
cd Monocle3-python
pip install -e ".[dev]"

No R interpreter is required at runtime. Tutorial datasets are downloaded on first use and cached under ~/.cache/monocle3-python/.

Quickstart

import monocle3 as m3

adata = m3.load_packer_embryo()                  # AnnData (6188 × 20222)
m3.preprocess_cds(adata, num_dim=50)              # size-factor norm + truncated PCA
m3.align_cds(adata, alignment_group="batch")
m3.reduce_dimension(adata)                        # UMAP via umap-learn
m3.cluster_cells(adata)                           # Leiden
m3.learn_graph(adata)                             # SimplePPT principal graph
m3.order_cells(adata, root_pr_nodes=["Y_1"])      # pseudotime
m3.plot_cells(adata, color_cells_by="pseudotime")
