CytoTable

Diagram showing data flow relative to this project.

Summary

CytoTable enables single-cell morphology data analysis by cleaning and transforming CellProfiler (.csv or .sqlite), cytominer-database (.sqlite), and DeepProfiler (.npz), and other sources such as IN Carta data output data at scale. CytoTable creates parquet files for both independent analysis and for input into Pycytominer. The Parquet files will have a unified and documented data model, including referenceable schema where appropriate (for validation within Pycytominer or other projects).

The name for the project is inspired from:

• Cyto: "1. (biology) cell." (Wiktionary: Cyto-)
• Table:
  • "1. Furniture with a top surface to accommodate a variety of uses."
  • "3.1. A matrix or grid of data arranged in rows and columns."
    (Wiktionary: Table)
