AnnData
Overview
AnnData is a Python package for handling annotated data matrices, storing experimental measurements (X) alongside observation metadata (obs), variable metadata (var), and multi-dimensional annotations (obsm, varm, obsp, varp, uns). Originally designed for single-cell genomics through Scanpy, it now serves as a general-purpose framework for any annotated data requiring efficient storage, manipulation, and analysis.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Creating, reading, or writing AnnData objects
- Working with h5ad, zarr, or other genomics data formats
- Performing single-cell RNA-seq analysis
- Managing large datasets with sparse matrices or backed mode
- Concatenating multiple datasets or experimental batches
- Subsetting, filtering, or transforming annotated data
- Integrating with scanpy, scvi-tools, or other scverse ecosystem tools
