summarize_counts

scib.preprocessing.summarize_counts(adata, count_matrix=None, mt_gene_regex='^MT-')

Summarise counts of the given count matrix

This function is useful for quality control. Aggregates counts per cell and per gene as well as mitochondrial fraction.

Parameters
  • count_matrix – count matrix, by default uses adata.X

  • mt_gene_regex – regex string for identifying mitochondrial genes

Returns

Include the following keys in adata.obs ‘n_counts’: number of counts per cell (count depth) ‘log_counts’: np.log of counts per cell ‘n_genes’: number of counts per gene ‘mito_frac’: percent of mitochondrial gene counts as an indicator of cell viability
