When should I use scvi-tools instead of Scanpy?

Use scvi-tools when you need advanced probabilistic modeling, such as batch correction for complex datasets, multimodal integration, or uncertainty-aware differential expression. Scanpy is better suited for standard preprocessing, basic clustering, and visualization.

What data format does scvi-tools require?

scvi-tools is designed to work with AnnData objects. Crucially, the models require raw, unnormalized count data as input to correctly model the underlying data distribution.

Can I use this for spatial transcriptomics?

Absolutely. This skill supports specialized spatial models like DestVI for deconvolution, Stereoscope for cell type mapping, and Tangram for integrating spatial data with single-cell references.

Does this skill support GPU acceleration?

Yes, scvi-tools is built on PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning, meaning it can automatically utilize available GPUs to significantly speed up the training of deep generative models on large datasets.

데이터 과학 및 ML

Implement deep generative models for single-cell omics analysis, enabling batch correction, multimodal integration, and probabilistic differential expression.

This skill integrates scvi-tools into Claude Code, providing a specialized framework for analyzing single-cell genomic data using deep generative models. Built on PyTorch, it excels at complex tasks like batch correction (scVI), transfer learning (scANVI), and multimodal integration (TOTALVI, MultiVI). It is particularly useful for researchers and bioinformaticians who need to handle technical variation across datasets, perform uncertainty-aware differential expression, or analyze paired multi-omic data with high statistical precision beyond standard analysis pipelines.
