- tl.recover_latent_time: infers a shared latent time across all genes based on the learned splicing dynamics.
Plotting:
- pl.scatter enhancements: multiplots, rugplot, linear and polynomial fits, density plots, etc.
- pl.heatmap: heatmap / clustermap of genes along time coordinate sorted by expression along dynamics.
Preprocessing:
- New attributes in pp.filter_genes: min_shared_counts and min_shared_genes.

Version 0.1.14 Dec 7, 2018¶
Plotting:
- New attriutes arrow_length and arrow_size for flexible adjustment of embedded velocities.
- pl.velocity_graph: Scatter plot of embedding with cell-to-cell transition connectivities.
- pl.velocity_embedding_stream: Streamplot visualization of velocities.
- Improve visualization of embedded single cell velocities (autosize, colors etc.)
Tools:
- tl.cell_fate: compute cell-specific terminal state likelihood
- New attribute approx=True in tl.velocity_graph to enable approximate graph computation by performing cosine correlations on PCA space.
Preprocessing:
- Automatically detect whether data is already preprocessed.
Version 0.1.11 Oct 27, 2018¶
Plotting:
- settings.set_figure_params(): adjust matplotlib defaults for beautified plots
- improved default point and arrow sizes; improved quiver autoscale
- enable direct plotting of
Tools:
- tl.velocity_confidence: Added two confidence measures ‘velocity_confidence’ and ‘velocity_confidence_transition’.
- tl.rank_velocity_genes: Added functionality to rank genes for velocity characterizing groups using a t-test.
- New attribute perc in tl.velocity enables extreme quantile fit, e.g. set perc=95.
- New attribute groups in tl.velocity enables velocity estimation only on a subset of the data.
- Improved tl.transition_matrix by incorporating self-loops via self_transitions=True and state changes that have negative correlation with velocity (opposite direction) via use_negative_cosines=True
Utils:
- utils.merge to merge to AnnData objects such as already existing AnnData and newly generated Loom File.
