""" This program converts an [AnnData H5AD](https://anndata.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) into a cellxgene TileDB structure, aka a 'CXG'. The organization of the TileDB structure is: the.cxg TileDB Group |-- obs TileDB array containing cell (row) attributes, one attribute per | dataframe columm, shape (n_obs,) |-- var TileDB array containing gene (column) attributes, with one attribute per | dataframe column, shape (n_var,) |-- X Main count matrix as a 2D TileDB array, single unnanmed numeric attribute |-- emb TileDB group, storing optional embeddings (group may be empty) | |-- TileDB Array, single anon attribute, ND numeric array, shape (n_obs, N) |-- cxg_group_metadata Empty array used only to stash metadata about the overall object. ... All arrays are defined to have a uint32 domain, zero based. All X counds and embedding coordinates are coerced to float32, which is ample precision for visualization purposes. Dataframe (metadata) types are generally preserved, or where that is not possible, converted to somemthing with equal representative value in the cellxgene application (eg, categorical types are converted to string, bools to uint8, etc). The following objects are also decorated with auxilliary metadata using TileDB array metadata: * cxg_group_metadata: minimally, will contain a 'cxg_version' field, which is a semver string identifing the version number of the CXG layout. It may also contain 'cxg_parameters', a JSON-encoded parameter list describing CXG-wide dataset parameters. * obs, var: both contain an optional 'cxg_schema' field that is a json string, containing per-column (attribute) schema hinting. This is used where the TileDB native typing information is insufficient to reconstruct useful information such as categorical typing from Pandas DataFrames, and to communicate which column is the preferred human-readable index for obs & var. This file also embodies a number of empirically derived tiledb schema parameters, including the global data layout, spatial tile size, and the like. The CXG is self-describing in these areas, and the actual values (eg, tile size) are empirically derived from benchmarking. They may change in the future. --- TODO/ISSUES: * add sub-command structure to argparse, for future sub-commands * Possible future work: accept Loom files """ import anndata import tiledb import argparse import numpy as np import pandas as pd from os.path import splitext, basename import json # the CXG container version number.
