Development Environment Setup

  • Create a virtual environment using venv or conda
  • cd to the root of this repository
  • pip install -e api/python/cellxgene_census
  • To install dependencies needed to work on the experimental portion of the API: pip install -e 'api/python/cellxgene_census[experimental]'.
  • pip install jupyterlab
  • Test it! Either open up a new jupyter notebook or the python interpreter and run this code:
import cellxgene_census

with cellxgene_census.open_soma() as census:

    cell_metadata = cellxgene_census.get_obs(
        census,
        "homo_sapiens",
        value_filter = "sex == 'female' and cell_type in ['microglial cell', 'neuron']",
        column_names = ["assay", "cell_type", "tissue", "tissue_general", "suspension_type", "disease"]
    )
    cell_metadata

The output is a pandas.DataFrame with over 600K cells meeting our query criteria and the selected columns:

The "stable" release is currently 2023-12-15. Specify 'census_version="2023-12-15"' in future calls to open_soma() to ensure data consistency.
