mcmicro_to_scimap

Short Description

sm.pp.mcmicro_to_scimap: The function allows users to directly import the output from mcmicro into scimap.

Function

mcmicro_to_scimap(feature_table_path, remove_dna=True, remove_string_from_name=None, log=True, drop_markers=None, random_sample=None, unique_CellId=True, CellId='CellID', split='X_centroid', custom_imageid=None, min_cells=None, output_dir=None)

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
feature_table_path list

This is a list of paths that lead to the single-cell spatial feature tables. Each image should have a unique path assigned to it.

required
remove_dna bool

Remove the DNA channels from the final output. Looks for channels with the string 'dna' in it.

True
remove_string_from_name string

Used to clean channel names. The given string will be removed from all marker names.

None
log bool

Take Log of data (log1p transformation will be applied).

True
drop_markers list

List of markers to drop from the analysis. e.g. ["CD3D", "CD20"].

None
random_sample int

Randomly sub-sample data, new sample contains desired number of cells.

None
CellId string

Name of the column that contains the cell ID.

'CellID'
unique_CellId bool

By default, the function creates a unique name for each cell/row by combining the CellId and imageid. If you wish not to perform this operation please pass False. The function will use whatever is under CellId. In which case, please be careful to pass unique CellId especially when loading multiple datasets togeather.

True
split string

To split the CSV into counts table and meta data, pass in the name of the column that immediately follows the marker quantification.

'X_centroid'
custom_imageid string

Pass a user defined Image ID. By default the name of the CSV file is used.

None
min_cells int

Images with less cells than int will be dropped Particulary useful when importing multiple images.

None
output_dir string

Path to output directory.

None

Returns:
