Name of the tool: pycea

Short description: Pycea is a Python toolkit for single-cell lineage tracing analysis and visualization.

How does the package use scverse data structures (please describe in a few sentences): Pycea is built to use TreeData a lightweight wrapper around AnnData that adds support for storing trees. Since the TreeData object is a drop in replacement for AnnData pycea seamlessly integrates into the scverse ecosystem. Users easily perform analyses like clustering with scanpy then immediately plot those clusters on the lineage tree.

  • The code is publicly available under an OSI-approved license
  • The package provides versioned releases
  • The package can be installed from a standard registry (e.g. PyPI, conda-forge, bioconda)
  • Automated tests cover essential functions of the package and a reasonable range of inputs and conditions [^1]
  • Continuous integration (CI) automatically executes these tests on each push or pull request [^2]
  • The package provides API documentation via a website or README[^3]
  • The package uses scverse datastructures where appropriate (i.e. AnnData, MuData or SpatialData and their modality-specific extensions)
  • I am an author or maintainer of the tool and agree on listing the package on the scverse website
