scverse roadmap

Work in progress.

2023

Data standards

• MuData enhancements with new methods incl. concatenation
• Improved out-of-memory analysis for AnnData and MuData
• Awkward array support for AnnData
• Lightweight non-string indices support for AnnData

Genomics

• Genomic ranges support for scverse ecosystem
• Indtroducing genome information and sequence into muon and other scverse tools
• Modular chromatin accessibility data processing and analyses in the scverse ecosystem

Spatial omics

• Flexible data structure for spatial omics
• Support for the new spatial data structure in the analysis tools
• Framework for spatial omics and multi-omics

Adaptive immune receptor repertoire (AIRR) data

• Improved data structured based on awkward arrays
• Improve scalability to >1M receptors
• Tighten integration with ecosystem tools, e.g. dandelion, mvTCR

Documentation

• New tutorial website (work in progress, see https://github.com/scverse/scverse-tutorials/)

Events

• (March) Hackathon with a focus on interoperability
