name: tooluniverse-single-cell description: Production-ready single-cell and expression matrix analysis using scanpy, anndata, and scipy. Performs scRNA-seq QC, normalization, PCA, UMAP, Leiden/Louvain clustering, differential expression (Wilcoxon, t-test, DESeq2), cell type annotation, per-cell-type statistical analysis, gene-expression correlation, batch correction (Harmony), trajectory inference, and cell-cell communication analysis. NEW: Analyzes ligand-receptor interactions between cell types using OmniPath (CellPhoneDB, CellChatDB), scores communication strength, identifies signaling cascades, and handles multi-subunit receptor complexes. Integrates with ToolUniverse gene annotation tools (HPA, Ensembl, MyGene, UniProt) and enrichment tools (gseapy, PANTHER, STRING). Supports h5ad, 10X, CSV/TSV count matrices, and pre-annotated datasets. Use when analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data, studying cell-cell interactions, performing cell type differential expression, computing gene-expression correlations by cell type, analyzing tumor-immune communication, or answering questions about scRNA-seq datasets.

Single-Cell Genomics and Expression Matrix Analysis

Comprehensive single-cell RNA-seq analysis and expression matrix processing using scanpy, anndata, scipy, and ToolUniverse. Designed for both full scRNA-seq workflows (raw counts to annotated cell types) and targeted expression-level analyses (per-cell-type DE, correlation, ANOVA, clustering).

IMPORTANT: This skill handles complex multi-workflow analysis. Most implementation details have been moved to references/ for progressive disclosure. This document focuses on high-level decision-making and workflow orchestration.

---

When to Use This Skill

Apply when users:

• Have scRNA-seq data (h5ad, 10X, CSV count matrices) and want analysis
• Ask about cell type identification, clustering, or annotation
• Need differential expression analysis by cell type or condition
• Want gene-expression correlation analysis (e.g., gene length vs expression by cell type)
• Ask about PCA, UMAP, t-SNE for expression data
• Need Leiden/Louvain clustering on expression matrices
• Want statistical comparisons between cell types (t-test, ANOVA, fold change)
• Ask about marker genes for cell populations
• Need batch correction (Harmony, combat)
• Want trajectory or pseudotime analysis
• Ask about cell-cell communication (ligand-receptor interactions)
• Questions mention "single-cell", "scRNA-seq", "cell type", "h5ad"
• Questions involve immune cell types (CD4, CD8, CD14, CD19, monocytes, etc.)

BixBench Coverage: 18+ questions across 5 projects (bix-22, bix-27, bix-31, bix-33, bix-36)

NOT for (use other skills instead):

• Bulk RNA-seq DESeq2 analysis only → Use tooluniverse-rnaseq-deseq2
• Gene enrichment only (no expression data) → Use tooluniverse-gene-enrichment
• VCF/variant analysis → Use tooluniverse-variant-analysis
• Statistical modeling (regression, survival) → Use tooluniverse-statistical-modeling

Core Principles

1. Data-first approach - Load, inspect, and validate data before any analysis
2. AnnData-centric - All data flows through anndata objects for consistency
3. Cell type awareness - Many questions require per-cell-type subsetting and analysis
4. Statistical rigor - Proper normalization, multiple testing correction, effect sizes
5. Scanpy standard pipeline - Follow established best practices for scRNA-seq
6. Flexible input - Handle h5ad, 10X, CSV/TSV, pre-processed and raw data
7. Question-driven - Parse what the user is actually asking and extract the specific answer
8. Enrichment integration - Chain DE results into GO/KEGG/Reactome enrichment when requested
9. Large dataset support - Efficient handling of datasets with >100k cells

Common Analysis Patterns (BixBench)

Pattern 1: Per-Cell-Type Differential Expression

Question: "Which immune cell type has the most DEGs after treatment?"

Workflow:

import scanpy as sc

# Load and normalize
adata = sc.read_h5ad("data.h5ad")
sc.pp.normalize_total(adata, target_sum=1e4)
sc.pp.log1p(adata)

# Per-cell-type DE
cell_types = adata.obs['cell_type'].unique()
de_results = {}

for ct in cell_types:
    adata_ct = adata[adata.obs['cell_type'] == ct].copy()

    # Check sufficient cells
    n_treat = (adata_ct.obs['condition'] == 'treatment').sum()
    n_ctrl = (adata_ct.obs['condition'] == 'control').sum()
    if n_treat < 3 or n_ctrl < 3:
        continue

    # Run DE
    sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(adata_ct, groupby='condition',
                             groups=['treatment'], reference='control',
                             method='wilcoxon')
    df = sc.get.rank_genes_groups_df(adata_ct, group='treatment')

    # Count significant
    sig = df[df['pvals_adj'] < 0.05]
    de_results[ct] = {'n_sig': len(sig), 'results': df}
    print(f"{ct}: {len(sig)} DEGs")

# Answer: Which has most?
top_ct = max(de_results, key=lambda x: de_results[x]['n_sig'])
print(f"Answer:  ( DEGs)")

BixBench: bix-33

See: references/scanpy_workflow.md "Differential Expression"

Pattern 2: Gene Property vs Expression Correlation

Question: "What is the Pearson correlation between gene length and expression in CD4 T cells?"

Workflow:

import scanpy as sc
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from scipy import stats
from scipy.sparse import issparse

# Load data
adata = sc.read_h5ad("data.h5ad")

# Load gene annotations
gene_info = pd.read_csv("gene_info.tsv", sep='\t', index_col=0)
common = adata.var_names.intersection(gene_info.index)
adata.var['gene_length'] = gene_info.loc[common, 'gene_length'].reindex(adata.var_names)
adata.var['gene_type'] = gene_info.loc[common, 'gene_type'].reindex(adata.var_names)

# Filter to protein-coding genes
mask = adata.var['gene_type'] == 'protein_coding'
adata_pc = adata[:, mask].copy()

# Per-cell-type correlation
cell_types = ['CD4 T cells', 'CD8 T cells', 'CD14 Monocytes']  # etc.

for ct in cell_types:
    adata_ct = adata_pc[adata_pc.obs['cell_type'] == ct]

    # Mean expression per gene
    X = adata_ct.X.toarray() if issparse(adata_ct.X) else adata_ct.X
    mean_expr = np.mean(X, axis=0)
    gene_lengths = adata_ct.var['gene_length'].values

    # Remove NaN
    valid = ~np.isnan(gene_lengths) & ~np.isnan(mean_expr)

    # Pearson correlation
    r, p = stats.pearsonr(gene_lengths[valid], mean_expr[valid])
    print(f"{ct}: r = {r:f}, p = , n =  genes")

BixBench: bix-22

See: SKILL_OLD.md "Phase 6: Statistical Analysis on Expression Data"

Pattern 3: PCA on Expression Matrix

Question: "What percentage of variance is explained by PC1 after log10 transform?"

Workflow:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA

# Load expression matrix
df = pd.read_csv("expression.csv", index_col=0)

# Orient: samples as rows, genes as columns
if df.shape[0] > df.shape[1] * 5:
    df = df.T  # Genes were rows, transpose

# Log10 transform with pseudocount
X = np.log10(df.values + 1)

# Run PCA
n_components = min(X.shape[0], X.shape[1])
pca = PCA(n_components=n_components)
pca.fit(X)

# Variance explained
print(f"PC1: {pca.explained_variance_ratio_[0]*100:.2f}% variance")
print(f"PC1+PC2: {sum(pca.explained_variance_ratio_[:2])*100:.2f}%")
print(f"Top 10 PCs: {sum(pca.explained_variance_ratio_[:10])*100:.2f}%")

BixBench: bix-27

See: references/clustering_guide.md "PCA Analysis"

Pattern 4: Statistical Comparison Between Cell Types

Question: "What is the t-statistic comparing LFCs between CD4/CD8 and other cell types?"

Workflow:

from scipy import stats

# After running per-cell-type DE (Pattern 1):
# Extract LFCs for different cell type groups

# Group 1: CD4/CD8 cells
cd4_lfc = de_results['CD4 T cells']['results']['log2FoldChange'].values
cd8_lfc = de_results['CD8 T cells']['results']['log2FoldChange'].values
cd4_cd8_lfc = np.concatenate([cd4_lfc, cd8_lfc])

# Group 2: Other cells
other_lfc = []
for ct in ['CD14 Monocytes', 'NK cells', 'B cells']:
    other_lfc.append(de_results[ct]['results']['log2FoldChange'].values)
other_lfc = np.concatenate(other_lfc)

# Welch's t-test (unequal variances)
t_stat, p_val = stats.ttest_ind(cd4_cd8_lfc, other_lfc, equal_var=False)
print(f"t-statistic: {t_stat:.4f}")
print(f"p-value: {p_val:.4e}")

BixBench: bix-31

See: SKILL_OLD.md "Phase 6.3: T-Tests Between Groups"

Pattern 5: ANOVA Across Cell Types

Question: "What is the F-statistic for miRNA expression across immune cell types?"

Workflow:

import pandas as pd
from scipy import stats

# Load miRNA expression
df = pd.read_csv("mirna_expr.csv", index_col=0)
meta = pd.read_csv("metadata.csv", index_col=0)

# Exclude PBMCs
meta_filtered = meta[meta['cell_type'] != 'PBMC']
df_filtered = df[meta_filtered.index]

# Group by cell type
cell_types = meta_filtered['cell_type'].unique()
groups = {}
for ct in cell_types:
    samples = meta_filtered[meta_filtered['cell_type'] == ct].index
    groups[ct] = df_filtered[samples].values.flatten()

# One-way ANOVA
f_stat, p_val = stats.f_oneway(*groups.values())
print(f"F-statistic: {f_stat:.4f}")
print(f"p-value: {p_val:.4e}")

BixBench: bix-36

See: SKILL_OLD.md "Phase 6.4: ANOVA Across Groups"

Pattern 6: Cell-Cell Communication Analysis

Question: "Which ligand-receptor interactions are strongest between tumor and T cells?"

Workflow:

from tooluniverse import ToolUniverse

tu = ToolUniverse()
tu.load_tools()

# Step 1: Get ligand-receptor pairs from OmniPath
result = tu.run_tool(
    "OmniPath_get_ligand_receptor_interactions",
    databases="CellPhoneDB,CellChatDB"
)
lr_pairs = pd.DataFrame(result['data']['interactions'])

# Step 2: Filter to expressed pairs
# (genes present in dataset, mean expression > 0.05)
expressed_lr = lr_pairs[
    lr_pairs['source_genesymbol'].isin(adata.var_names) &
    lr_pairs['target_genesymbol'].isin(adata.var_names)
]

# Step 3: Score communication between cell types
# (mean ligand expr in sender * mean receptor expr in receiver)
communication_scores = score_cell_communication(
    adata, expressed_lr, cell_type_col='cell_type'
)

# Step 4: Filter to tumor-T cell interactions
tumor_tcell = communication_scores[
    ((communication_scores['sender'] == 'Tumor') &
     (communication_scores['receiver'].str.contains('T cell'))) |
    ((communication_scores['receiver'] == 'Tumor') &
     (communication_scores['sender'].str.contains('T cell')))
]

# Step 5: Top interactions
top_interactions = tumor_tcell.nlargest(20, 'score')
print(top_interactions[['sender', 'receiver', 'ligand', 'receptor', 'score']])

Data Loading Best Practices

Critical: Matrix Orientation

AnnData expects: cells/samples as rows (obs), genes as columns (var)

import scanpy as sc
import pandas as pd
import anndata as ad

# Load h5ad (already oriented)
adata = sc.read_h5ad("data.h5ad")

# Load CSV/TSV (check orientation!)
df = pd.read_csv("counts.csv", index_col=0)

# Heuristic: If genes > samples by 5x, transpose
if df.shape[0] > df.shape[1] * 5:
    print("Transposing: genes were rows")
    df = df.T

adata = ad.AnnData(df)

Load Metadata

meta = pd.read_csv("metadata.csv", index_col=0)
# Align indices
common = adata.obs_names.intersection(meta.index)
adata = adata[common].copy()
for col in meta.columns:
    adata.obs[col] = meta.loc[common, col]

See: references/scanpy_workflow.md "Phase 1: Data Loading"

---

Quality Control Checklist

# QC metrics
adata.var['mt'] = adata.var_names.str.startswith(('MT-', 'mt-'))
sc.pp.calculate_qc_metrics(adata, qc_vars=['mt'], inplace=True)

# Filter cells
sc.pp.filter_cells(adata, min_genes=200)  # Min genes per cell
adata = adata[adata.obs['pct_counts_mt'] < 20].copy()  # Max mito %

# Filter genes
sc.pp.filter_genes(adata, min_cells=3)  # Min cells per gene

print(f"After QC: {adata.n_obs} cells x {adata.n_vars} genes")

See: references/scanpy_workflow.md "Phase 2: Quality Control"

---

Differential Expression Decision Tree

Q: What type of DE analysis?

Single-Cell DE (many cells per condition):
├─ Use: sc.tl.rank_genes_groups()
├─ Methods: wilcoxon (default), t-test, logreg
├─ Best for: Per-cell-type DE, marker gene finding
└─ See: references/scanpy_workflow.md "Differential Expression"

Pseudo-Bulk DE (aggregate counts by sample):
├─ Use: DESeq2 via PyDESeq2
├─ Best for: Sample-level comparisons, replicates
└─ See: SKILL_OLD.md "Phase 5.3: DESeq2-based DE"

Statistical Tests Only:
├─ Use: scipy.stats (ttest_ind, f_oneway, pearsonr)
├─ Best for: Correlation, ANOVA, t-tests on summaries
└─ See: "Statistical Analysis on Expression Data" below

---

Statistical Analysis on Expression Data

For BixBench questions requiring specific statistical tests:

Pearson/Spearman Correlation

from scipy import stats

# Gene property vs expression
r, p = stats.pearsonr(gene_lengths, mean_expression)
r_s, p_s = stats.spearmanr(gene_lengths, mean_expression)

T-Tests

# Welch's t-test (unequal variance)
t_stat, p_val = stats.ttest_ind(group1, group2, equal_var=False)

# Student's t-test (equal variance)
t_stat, p_val = stats.ttest_ind(group1, group2, equal_var=True)

ANOVA

# One-way ANOVA across multiple groups
f_stat, p_val = stats.f_oneway(group1, group2, group3, ...)

Multiple Testing Correction

from statsmodels.stats.multitest import multipletests

# Benjamini-Hochberg (FDR)
reject, pvals_adj, _, _ = multipletests(pvals, method='fdr_bh')

# Bonferroni
reject, pvals_adj, _, _ = multipletests(pvals, method='bonferroni')

See: SKILL_OLD.md "Phase 6: Statistical Analysis on Expression Data" for complete examples

---

Marker Gene Identification

# Find marker genes for each cluster
sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(adata, groupby='leiden', method='wilcoxon')

# Get results for cluster 0
markers = sc.get.rank_genes_groups_df(adata, group='0')
top_markers = markers.head(10)

# Annotate clusters using markers
marker_dict = {
    'T cells': ['CD3D', 'CD3E', 'CD8A'],
    'B cells': ['CD19', 'MS4A1', 'CD79A'],
    'Monocytes': ['CD14', 'LYZ', 'S100A9'],
}
# Score and assign cell types

See: references/marker_identification.md for complete workflow

---

Batch Correction with Harmony

import harmonypy

# After PCA
sc.tl.pca(adata, n_comps=50)

# Run Harmony on PCA
ho = harmonypy.run_harmony(
    adata.obsm['X_pca'][:, :30],
    adata.obs,
    'batch',  # batch column
    random_state=0
)

# Store corrected PCs
adata.obsm['X_pca_harmony'] = ho.Z_corr.T

# Re-cluster on corrected PCs
sc.pp.neighbors(adata, use_rep='X_pca_harmony')
sc.tl.leiden(adata, resolution=0.5)
sc.tl.umap(adata)

See: references/scanpy_workflow.md "Batch Correction"

---

Report Generation

Always extract the specific answer to the user's question:

# Example: "Which cell type has the most DEGs?"
report = f"""
# Analysis Results

## Per-Cell-Type Differential Expression

| Cell Type | Significant DEGs (padj < 0.05) |
|-----------|-------------------------------|
{chr(10).join([f"| {ct} | {res['n_sig']} |" for ct, res in de_results.items()])}

## Answer

**{top_ct}** has the highest number of significantly differentially expressed
genes with **{de_results[top_ct]['n_sig']} DEGs** (Wilcoxon test, BH-corrected
p < 0.05).
"""

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Issue	Solution
ModuleNotFoundError: leidenalg	pip install leidenalg
Sparse matrix errors	Use .toarray(): X = adata.X.toarray() if issparse(adata.X) else adata.X
Wrong matrix orientation	Check: more genes than samples? Transpose if needed
NaN in correlation	Filter: valid = ~np.isnan(x) & ~np.isnan(y)
Too few cells for DE	Need >= 3 cells per condition per cell type
Gene names don't match	Use MyGene for ID conversion
Memory error (large datasets)	Use sc.pp.highly_variable_genes() to reduce features

See: references/troubleshooting.md for detailed solutions
