Description

This dataset contains a representation of RNA sequencing data and text descriptions. Dataset type: single (suitable for relevant contrastive-learning or inference tasks).

Cell Sentence Length: The cell sentences in this dataset have a length of $cs_length genes.

The RNA sequencing data used for training was originally gathered and annotated in the CellWhisperer project. It is derived from CellxGene and GEO. Detailed information on the gathering and annotation of the data can be read in the CellWhisperer Manuscript.

Example Data Row

The dataset contains the following column structure (example from the first row):

  sample_idx: AGACCATTCAAACCTG_TSP2_Trachea_NA_10X_1_1
  cell_sentence_1: AGACCATTCAAACCTG_TSP2_Trachea_NA_10X_1_1
  cell_sentence_2: MALAT1 MT-RNR2 MT-RNR1 NEAT1 S100A2 KRT19 MT-CO2 S100A9 S100A6 KRT5 KRT17 KRT6A SFN FABP5 AQP3 MT-ND1 PERP MT-ND2 WFDC2 HSP90AA1 SERPINB3 SAT1 B2M TAC...

The processed .h5ad files used to create this dataset are stored remotely. An example file can be accessed here: https://zenodo.org/api/records/17721879/draft/files/all_chunk_0.zarr.zip/content

The AnnData Objects were processed and converted into a Hugging Face dataset using the adata_hf_datasets Python package. The dataset can be used to train a multimodal model, aligning transcriptome and text modalities with the sentence-transformers framework. See mmcontext for examples on how to train such a model.

The anndata objects are stored on nextcloud and a sharelink is provided as part of the dataset to download them. These anndata objects contain intial embeddings generated like this: Each AnnData contained the following embedding keys: ['X_pca', 'X_scvi_fm', 'X_geneformer', 'X_gs10k', 'X_geneformer-v1', 'X_cw-geneformer']. These initial embeddings are used as inputs for downstream model training / inference.

Usage

To use this dataset in Python:

from datasets import load_dataset

# Load the dataset
dataset = load_dataset("jo-mengr/tabula_sapiens_schafer_single_no_caption_v2")

Understanding the Data Structure

• sample_idx: This column maps to the adata.obs.index of the original AnnData objects
• Chunking: Larger datasets were chunked, so each AnnData object contains only a subset of the indices from the complete dataset
• Share Links: Each row contains a share_link that can be used with requests to download the corresponding AnnData object

Loading AnnData Objects

The share links in the dataset can be used to download the corresponding AnnData objects:

import requests
import anndata as ad

# Get the share link from a dataset row
row = dataset["train"][0]  # First row as example
share_link = row["share_link"]
sample_idx = row["sample_idx"]

# Download and load the AnnData object
response = requests.get(share_link)
if response.status_code == 200:
    with open("adata.h5ad", "wb") as f:
        f.write(response.content)
    adata = ad.read_h5ad("adata.h5ad")

    # The sample_idx corresponds to adata.obs.index
    sample_data = adata[adata.obs.index == sample_idx]
    print(f"Found sample: {sample_data.shape}")
else:
    print("Failed to download AnnData object")
