scvi-tools

用於單細胞體學的深度生成模型。當你需要機率性批次校正 (scVI)、遷移學習、帶有不確定性的差異表現分析或多模態整合 (TOTALVI, MultiVI) 時使用。最適合進階建模、批次效應、多模態資料。標準分析流程請使用 scanpy。

scvi-tools 是什麼?

scvi-tools 是一個基於 PyTorch 和 PyTorch Lightning 的全面性 Python 框架,專為單細胞基因體學的機率模型而設計。它利用變分推斷提供深度生成模型,用於分析多樣化的單細胞數據模態(如 scRNA-seq、ATAC-seq、CITE-seq 和空間轉錄體學)。框架的核心模型(如 scVI、scANVI、totalVI、MultiVI)位於 `scvi.model` 命名空間下,而其他模型(如 VeloVI、contrastiveVI、CellAssign)則位於 `scvi.external` 命名空間下,用戶在調用時需注意正確路徑。主要功能包括無監督降維、批次校正、半監督細胞類型註釋、多模態整合、空間解卷積以及帶有不確定性量化的差異表現分析。scvi-tools 的 API 設計一致:先使用 `setup_anndata` 註冊數據(強烈建議使用原始計數數據),然後訓練模型,最後提取潛在表徵或標準化表達值。輸出結果可順暢地整合到 Scanpy 生態系統中進行後續分析,並支援 GPU 加速以處理大規模數據集。這是進行進階單細胞建模和機率推斷的首選工具。

scvi-tools 是做什麼的?

概述

scvi-tools 是一個全面的 Python 框架,專為單細胞基因體學中的機率模型而設計。它建立在 PyTorch 和 PyTorch Lightning 之上,利用變分推斷提供深度生成模型,用於分析多樣化的單細胞數據模態。當前穩定版本:scvi-tools 1.4.3(2026 年 5 月)。

模型命名空間很重要: 核心模型(scVI、scANVI、totalVI、MultiVI、PeakVI、AUTOZI、CondSCVI、DestVI、LinearSCVI、AmortizedLDA、JaxSCVI)位於 scvi.model 下。大多數其他模型(VeloVI、contrastiveVI、CellAssign、PoissonVI、scBasset、MrVI、MethylVI/MethylANVI、CytoVI、SysVI、Decipher、gimVI、scVIVA、ResolVI、Stereoscope、Solo、totalANVI、DIAGVI)則位於 scvi.external 下。參考文件中指定了每個模型的正確命名空間。

典型工作流程

所有 scvi-tools 模型遵循一致的 API 模式:

# 1. 載入和預處理數據(AnnData 格式)
import scvi
import scanpy as sc

adata = scvi.data.heart_cell_atlas_subsampled()
sc.pp.filter_genes(adata, min_counts=3)
sc.pp.highly_variable_genes(adata, n_top_genes=1200)

# 2. 註冊數據到模型(指定層、協變量)
scvi.model.SCVI.setup_anndata(
    adata,
    layer="counts",  # 使用原始計數,而非對數正規化
    batch_key="batch",
    categorical_covariate_keys=["donor"],
    continuous_covariate_keys=["percent_mito"]
)

# 3. 建立並訓練模型
model = scvi.model.SCVI(adata)
model.train()

# 4. 提取潛在表徵和標準化值
latent = model.get_latent_representation()
normalized = model.get_normalized_expression(library_size=1e4)

# 5. 存儲到 AnnData 中以供後續分析
adata.obsm["X_scVI"] = latent
adata.layers["scvi_normalized"] = normalized

# 6. 使用 scanpy 進行後續分析
sc.pp.neighbors(adata, use_rep="X_scVI")
sc.tl.umap(adata)
sc.tl.leiden(adata)

關鍵設計原則:

  • 需要原始計數:模型期望未正規化的計數數據以獲得最佳性能
  • 統一 API:所有模型的一致介面(setup → train → extract)
  • 以 AnnData 為中心:與 scanpy 生態系統無縫整合
  • GPU 加速:自動利用可用的 GPU
  • 批次校正:透過協變量註冊處理技術變異

常見分析任務

差異表現

使用訓練好的生成模型進行機率性 DE 分析:

de_results = model.differential_expression(
    groupby="cell_type",
    group1="TypeA",
    group2="TypeB",
    mode="change",  # 使用複合假設檢定
    delta=0.25      # 最小效應量閾值
)

詳細方法和解釋請參見 references/differential-expression.md。

模型持久化

儲存和載入訓練好的模型:

# 儲存模型
model.save("./model_directory", overwrite=True)

# 載入模型
model = scvi.model.SCVI.load("./model_directory", adata=adata)

批次校正與整合

跨批次或研究整合數據集:

# 註冊批次資訊
scvi.model.SCVI.setup_anndata(adata, batch_key="study")

# 模型自動學習批次校正後的表徵
model = scvi.model.SCVI(adata)
model.train()
latent = model.get_latent_representation()  # 批次校正後

理論基礎

scvi-tools 基於:

  • 變分推斷:近似後驗分佈以進行可擴展的貝氏推斷
  • 深度生成模型:學習複雜數據分佈的 VAE 架構
  • 攤銷推斷:跨細胞共享神經網路以實現高效學習
  • 機率建模:基於原則的不確定性量化和統計檢定

有關數學框架的詳細背景,請參見 references/theoretical-foundations.md。

其他資源

安裝

需要 Python 3.12+(scvi-tools 1.4 已放棄對舊版本 Python 的支援)。

uv pip install scvi-tools
# 若需 GPU 支援
uv pip install "scvi-tools[cuda]"

若要確保可再現性環境,請固定版本:uv pip install scvi-tools==1.4.3。

計算後端: 訓練預設使用 PyTorch(CPU/GPU/TPU)。可選的 JAX 後端 (scvi.model.JaxSCVI)和針對 Apple 晶片的實驗性 MLX 後端 (scvi.model.mlxSCVI)可用於特定模型。

最佳實踐

  1. 使用原始計數:始終向模型提供未正規化的計數數據
  2. 過濾基因:在分析前移除低計數基因(例如 min_counts=3)
  3. 註冊協變量:在 setup_anndata 中包含已知的技術因素(批次、捐贈者等)
  4. 特徵選擇:使用高度可變基因以獲得更好的性能
  5. 模型儲存:始終儲存訓練好的模型,避免重新訓練
  6. 使用 GPU:對大型數據集啟用 GPU 加速(accelerator="gpu")
  7. 整合 Scanpy:將輸出儲存在 AnnData 物件中以進行後續分析

biopython

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.

bioservices

Best for cross-database analysis, ID mapping across services. For quick single-database lookups use gget; for sequence/file manipulation use biopython.

bulk-rnaseq

End-to-end bulk RNA-seq orchestrator — takes raw FASTQ reads through QC and trimming (FastQC, fastp/Trim Galore), alignment and quantification (STAR, Salmon, featureCounts), assembles a gene-level counts matrix, then hands off to differential expression (pydeseq2), pathway/GSEA enrichment (pathway-enrichment), and publication figures (scientific-visualization). Use whenever the user has bulk RNA-seq reads or quant output and wants a complete, reproducible differential-expression workflow — e.g.

cellxgene-census

Query the CZ CELLxGENE Census programmatically for versioned public single-cell and spatial transcriptomics data. Use when you need population-scale cell metadata, gene expression slices, Census summary counts, source H5AD URIs/downloads, embeddings, spatial Census data, or reference atlas comparisons across organisms, tissues, diseases, assays, and cell types. For analyzing your own local single-cell data use scanpy, anndata, or scvi-tools.

cirq

Google quantum computing framework. Use when targeting Google Quantum AI hardware, designing noise-aware circuits, or running quantum characterization experiments. Best for Google hardware, noise modeling, and low-level circuit design. For IBM hardware use qiskit; for quantum ML with autodiff use pennylane; for physics simulations use qutip.

citation-management

Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Search OpenAlex, PubMed, and Google Scholar for papers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.

clinical-decision-support

Prepare and validate research-only clinical decision-support evaluation, evidence-profile, cohort, survival, biomarker/model, privacy, and governance artifacts. Use for aggregate or synthetic research documentation and traceability—not patient care or live clinical operation.

clinical-reports

Create safety-bounded draft structures and run local deterministic checks for clinical case, diagnostic, trial, safety, and aggregate research reports. Use only with synthetic, de-identified, or aggregate inputs and verified source-fact manifests; every output requires qualified review.
