Example commands

You can run the pipeline using nextflow run.

Argument groups

Inputs

Name	Description	Attributes
--input	Velocyto loom file.	file, required

Outputs

Name	Description	Attributes
--output	Output directory. If it does not exist, will be created.	file, required
--output_compression	The compression format to be used on the output h5mu object.	string, example: "gzip"

Filtering and normalization

Arguments for filtering, normalization an log transform (see scvelo.pp.filter_and_normalize function)

Name	Description	Attributes
--min_counts	Minimum number of counts required for a gene to pass filtering (spliced).	integer
--min_counts_u	Minimum number of counts required for a gene to pass filtering (unspliced).	integer
--min_cells	Minimum number of cells expressed required to pass filtering (spliced).	integer
--min_cells_u	Minimum number of cells expressed required to pass filtering (unspliced).	integer
--min_shared_counts	Minimum number of counts (both unspliced and spliced) required for a gene.	integer
--min_shared_cells	Minimum number of cells required to be expressed (both unspliced and spliced).	integer
--n_top_genes	Number of genes to keep.	integer
--log_transform	Do not log transform counts.	boolean, default: TRUE

Fitting parameters

Arguments for fitting the data

Name	Description	Attributes
--n_principal_components	Number of principal components to use for calculating moments.	integer
--n_neighbors	Number of neighbors to use. First/second-order moments are computed for each cell across its nearest neighbors, where the neighbor graph is obtained from euclidean distances in PCA space.	integer, default: 30
