Analysis flow¶

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

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

# !pip install 'lamindb[jupyter,bionty]'
!lamin init --storage ./analysis-usecase --schema bionty

import lamindb as ln
import bionty as bt
from lamin_utils import logger

💡 connected lamindb: testuser1/analysis-usecase

Register an initial dataset¶

Here we register an initial artifact with a pipeline script register_example_file.py.

!python analysis-flow-scripts/register_example_file.py

Get a backed AnnData object¶

adata = artifact.open()
adata

AnnDataAccessor object with n_obs × n_vars = 40 × 100
  constructed for the AnnData object d4kfmZAvlukcK9bW1FrB.h5ad
    obs: ['_index', 'cell_type', 'cell_type_id', 'disease', 'tissue']
    var: ['_index']

Subset dataset to specific cell types and diseases¶

cell_types = artifact.cell_types.all().lookup(return_field="name")
diseases = artifact.diseases.all().lookup(return_field="name")

Create the subset:

subset_obs = adata.obs.cell_type.isin(
    [cell_types.t_cell, cell_types.hematopoietic_stem_cell]
) & (adata.obs.disease.isin([diseases.liver_lymphoma, diseases.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
Name: count, dtype: int64

Register the subsetted AnnData:

curate = ln.Curate.from_anndata(
    adata_subset.to_memory(), 
    var_index=bt.Gene.ensembl_gene_id, 
    categoricals={
        "cell_type": bt.CellType.name,

Examine data flow¶

Query a subsetted .h5ad artifact containing “hematopoietic stem cell” and “T cell”:

cell_types = bt.CellType.lookup()

my_subset = ln.Artifact.filter(
    suffix=".h5ad",
    description__endswith="subset",
    cell_types__in=[
        cell_types.hematopoietic_stem_cell,

Common questions that might arise are:

What is the history of this artifact?
Which features and labels are associated with it?
Which notebook analyzed and registered this artifact?
By whom?
And which artifact is its parent?

Let’s answer this using LaminDB:

print("--> What is the history of this artifact?\n")
artifact.view_lineage()

print("\n\n--> Which features and labels are associated with it?\n")
logger.print(artifact.features)
logger.print(artifact.labels)

print("\n\n--> Which notebook analyzed and registered this artifact\n")
logger.print(artifact.transform)

print("\n\n--> By whom\n")
logger.print(artifact.created_by)

print("\n\n--> And which artifact is its parent\n")
display(artifact.run.input_artifacts.df())

--> What is the history of this artifact?
