The CELLxGENE data portal (https://cellxgene.cziscience.com/) provides a graphical user interface to collections of single-cell sequence data processed in standard ways to ‘count matrix’ summaries. The cellxgenedp package provides an alternative, R-based inteface, allowing flexible data discovery, viewing, and retrieval.
cellxgenedp 1.11.0
NOTE: The interface to CELLxGENE has changed; versions of cellxgenedp prior to 1.4.1 / 1.5.2 will cease to work when CELLxGENE removes the previous interface. See the vignette section ‘API changes’ for additional details.
This package is available in Bioconductor version 3.15 and later. The following code installs cellxgenedp from Bioconductor
if (!"BiocManager" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))
install.packages("BiocManager", repos = "https://CRAN.R-project.org")
BiocManager::install("cellxgenedp")Alternatively, install the ‘development’ version from GitHub (see GitHub.io for current documentation)
if (!"remotes" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))
install.packages("remotes", repos = "https://CRAN.R-project.org")
remotes::install_github("mtmorgan/cellxgenedp")To also install additional packages required for this vignette, use
pkgs <- c("tidyr", "zellkonverter", "SingleCellExperiment", "HDF5Array")
required_pkgs <- pkgs[!pkgs %in% rownames(installed.packages())]
BiocManager::install(required_pkgs)Load the package into your current R session. We make extensive use of the dplyr packages, and at the end of the vignette use SingleCellExperiment and zellkonverter, so load those as well.
library(zellkonverter)
library(SingleCellExperiment) # load early to avoid masking dplyr::count()
library(dplyr)
library(cellxgenedp)cxg() Provides a ‘shiny’ interfaceThe following sections outline how to use the cellxgenedp package
in an R script; most functionality is also available in the cxg()
shiny application, providing an easy way to identify, download, and
visualize one or several datasets. Start the app
cxg()choose a project on the first tab, and a dataset for visualization, or one or more datasets for download!
Retrieve metadata about resources available at the cellxgene data
portal using db():
db <- db()Printing the db object provides a brief overview of the available
data, as well as hints, in the form of functions like collections(),
for further exploration.

## number of collections(): 252
## number of datasets(): 1612
## number of files(): 2932The portal organizes data hierarchically, with ‘collections’ (research studies, approximately), ‘datasets’, and ‘files’. Discover data using the corresponding functions.

## # ℹ 2,922 more rowsEach of these resources has a unique primary identifier (e.g.,
file_id) as well as an identifier describing the relationship of the
resource to other components of the database (e.g.,

across tables.
facets() provides information on ‘levels’ present in specific columnsNotice that some columns are ‘lists’ rather than atomic vectors like ‘character’ or ‘integer’.

example, to visualize the first dataset in african_american_female,
use

datasets_visualize()Visualization is an interactive process, so datasets_visualize()
will only open up to 5 browser tabs per call.
Datasets usually contain H5AD (files produced by the python AnnData
module), and Rds (serialized files produced by the R Seurat
package). The Rds files may be unreadable if the version of Seurat
used to create the file is different from the version used to read the
file. We therefore focus on the H5AD files.
For illustration, we find all files associated with studies with African American females
download one of our selected files.
selected_files <-
left_join(
african_american_female |> select(dataset_id),
files(db),
by = "dataset_id"
)And then choose a single dataset and its H5AD file for download
local_file <-
selected_files |>
filter(
dataset_id == "de985818-285f-4f59-9dbd-d74968fddba3",
filetype == "H5AD"
) |>
files_download(dry.run = FALSE)
basename(local_file)## [1] "80aa80bd-e935-4f4d-a9c9-ec072dbe30ed.h5ad"These are downloaded to a local cache (use the internal function
cellxgenedp:::.cellxgenedb_cache_path() for the location of the
cache), so the process is only time-consuming the first time.
H5AD files can be converted to R / Bioconductor objects using
the zellkonverter package.

online resource provides an excellent introduction to analysis and
visualization of single-cell data in R / Bioconductor. Extensive
opportunities for working with AnnData objects in R but using the
native python interface are briefly described in, e.g., ?AnnData2SCE
help page of zellkonverter.
The hca package provides programmatic access to the Human Cell Atlas data portal, allowing retrieval of primary as well as derived single-cell data files.
Data access provided by CELLxGENE has changed to a new ‘Discover’ API. The main functionality of the cellxgenedp package has not changed, but specific columns have been removed, replaced or added, as follows:
collections()
access_type, data_submission_policy_versionupdated_at replaced with revised_atcollection_version_id, collection_url, doi,

is_valid, processing_status, published, revision,
