scPortrait - image-based single cell analysis at scale in Python

scPortrait - image-based single cell analysis at scale in Python#

scPortrait is a scalable toolkit to analyse single-cell image datasets. This Python implementation efficiently segments individual cells, generates single-cell datasets and provides tools for the efficient deep learning classification of their phenotypes for downstream applications.

Installation#

Check out the installation instructions here. You can validate your installation by running one of the example notebooks here.

Getting Started#

You can check out our introduction to get started with scPortrait. For more detailed information on the package, we have written an in depth computational workflow guide. In the github repository you can also find some tutorial notebooks as well as small example datasets to get started with. If you encounter issues feel free to open up a git issue.

Citing our Work#

scPortrait was developed by Sophia Mädler and Niklas Schmacke in the labs of Matthias Mann, Veit Hornung and Fabian Theis in 2024 and is actively being developed. If you are interested in contributing please reach out to the developers.
