ℹ️ Beta Version Available: A beta version with compatibility for Google Colab and newer versions of torch and scvi-tools is available on the beta-colab branch. Install it with pip install celldisect==0.2.0b1.

🧬 Overview

CellDISECT (Cell DISentangled Experts for Covariate counTerfactuals) is a powerful causal generative model that enhances single-cell analysis by:

• 🔍 Disentangling Variations: Separates covariate variations at test time
• 🧪 Counterfactual Predictions: Learns to make accurate counterfactual predictions
• 🎯 Flexible Fairness: Achieves flexible fairness through expert models for each latent space
• 🔬 Enhanced Discovery: Captures both covariate-specific information and novel biological insights

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

We recommend using Anaconda/Miniconda. Create and activate a new environment:

conda create -n CellDISECT python=3.9
conda activate CellDISECT

Installation

1. Install PyTorch (tested with pytorch 2.1.2 and cuda 12):

conda install pytorch==2.1.2 torchvision==0.16.2 torchaudio==2.1.2 pytorch-cuda=12.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia

2. Install CellDISECT:

# Via pip (stable version)
pip install celldisect

# Or via GitHub (latest development version)
pip install git+https://github.com/Lotfollahi-lab/CellDISECT
