Analysis flow#

Here, we’ll track typical data transformations like subsetting that occur during analysis.

If exploring more generally, read this first: Project flow.

Track cell types, tissues and diseases#

We fetch an example dataset from LaminDB that has a few cell type, tissue and disease annotations:

Hide code cell content 
adata = ln.dev.datasets.anndata_with_obs()

adata

AnnData object with n_obs × n_vars = 40 × 100
    obs: 'cell_type', 'cell_type_id', 'tissue', 'disease'

adata.var_names[:5]

Index(['ENSG00000000003', 'ENSG00000000005', 'ENSG00000000419',
       'ENSG00000000457', 'ENSG00000000460'],
      dtype='object')

adata.obs[["tissue", "cell_type", "disease"]].value_counts()

tissue  cell_type                disease                   
brain   my new cell type         Alzheimer disease             10
heart   hepatocyte               cardiac ventricle disorder    10
kidney  T cell                   chronic kidney disease        10
liver   hematopoietic stem cell  liver lymphoma                10
dtype: int64

Processing the dataset#

To track our data transformation we create a new Transform of type “pipeline”:

transform = ln.Transform(
    name="Subset to T-cells and liver lymphoma", version="0.1.0", type="pipeline"
)

Set the current tracking to the new transform:

ln.track(transform)

💡 Transform(id=2, uid='sTChSXhMtJqfCm', name='Subset to T-cells and liver lymphoma', version='0.1.0', type='pipeline', updated_at=2023-10-16 21:44:03, created_by_id=1)

💡 Run(id=2, uid='4dDZpWIvmRYlKGkzVPKr', run_at=2023-10-16 21:44:03, transform_id=2, created_by_id=1)

Get a backed AnnData object#

file = ln.File.filter(key="mini_anndata_with_obs.h5ad").one()

adata = file.backed()
adata

AnnDataAccessor object with n_obs × n_vars = 40 × 100
  constructed for the AnnData object mini_anndata_with_obs.h5ad
    obs: ['_index', 'cell_type', 'cell_type_id', 'disease', 'tissue']
    var: ['_index']

adata.obs[["cell_type", "disease"]].value_counts()

cell_type                disease                   
T cell                   chronic kidney disease        10
hematopoietic stem cell  liver lymphoma                10
hepatocyte               cardiac ventricle disorder    10
my new cell type         Alzheimer disease             10
dtype: int64

Subset dataset to specific cell types and diseases#

Create the subset:

subset_obs = adata.obs.cell_type.isin(["T cell", "hematopoietic stem cell"]) & (
    adata.obs.disease.isin(["liver lymphoma", "chronic kidney disease"])
)

adata_subset = adata[subset_obs]
adata_subset

AnnDataAccessorSubset object with n_obs × n_vars = 20 × 100
  obs: ['_index', 'cell_type', 'cell_type_id', 'disease', 'tissue']
  var: ['_index']

adata_subset.obs[["cell_type", "disease"]].value_counts()

cell_type                disease               
T cell                   chronic kidney disease    10
hematopoietic stem cell  liver lymphoma            10
dtype: int64

This subset can now be registered:

file_subset = ln.File.from_anndata(
    adata_subset.to_memory(),
    key="subset/mini_anndata_with_obs.h5ad",
    field=lb.Gene.ensembl_gene_id,
)

Examine data flow#

Common questions that might arise are:

  • Which h5ad file is in the subset subfolder?

  • Which notebook ingested this file?

  • By whom?

  • And which file is its parent?

Let’s answer this using LaminDB:

Query a subsetted .h5ad file containing “hematopoietic stem cell” and “T cell” to learn which h5ad file is in the subset subfolder:

cell_types_bt_lookup = lb.CellType.lookup()

my_subset = ln.File.filter(
    suffix=".h5ad",
    key__startswith="subset",
    cell_types__in=[
        cell_types_bt_lookup.hematopoietic_stem_cell,
        cell_types_bt_lookup.t_cell,
    ],
).first()
