AnnZarro

AnnZarro is a read-only, browser-based viewer for AnnData stored as zarr. It is built around the matrices that other viewers leave out: cell-by-cell kernels and distances (obsp) and gene-by-gene similarities (varp), explored one focused cell or gene at a time and linked to the cell-by-gene layers.

Four linked AnnZarro panels on the demonstration data

Four linked panels on the demonstration data: a diffusion walk from the focused cell, a differential expression volcano coloured by correlation with the focused gene, the gene’s fold change on the UMAP, and a filtered cell table.

Getting started

Install from PyPI or the desktop app and open your first dataset.
