The following metadata categories are available:

  • donor: Set of donors available in the dataset. For details see the donor characteristics summary.
  • organ_tissue: List of organs available in Tabula Sapiens.
  • anatomical_information: If available, more specific information of where in the organ the cells were collected is provided.
  • gender: Gender of donors available in the dataset. For details see the donor characteristics summary.
  • cell_ontology_class: Cell type annotations using the Cell Ontology.
  • free_annotation: Cell type annotations using free text.
  • compartment: Functional compartment for each cell type.
  • manually_annotated: True or False, whether or not the corresponding value in Annotation has been manually verified by a tissue expert.
  • method: smartseq2 (full-length) or 10x (3prime).
Please note that this is not a comprehensive list of all the metadata stored in the data objects, but rather a small list to help the users getting started with the data.

The following numeric layers are available:

  • .layers["raw_counts"]: raw, not normalized counts.
  • .layers["decontXcounts"]: decontX corrected counts.
  • .raw.X: log1p normalized decontX corrected counts.
  • .X: log1p normalized and scaled decontX corrected counts.
