scverse
Foundational tools for single-cell omics data analysisscverse is an open-source, community-governed ecosystem of interoperable Python packages for single-cell and spatial omics analysis — from data structures like AnnData to analysis frameworks like Scanpy, scvi-tools, and Squidpy, all sharing common data formats so you can move between them in one analysis.
Well-documented, actively maintained tools that interoperate out of the box.
Shared data structures and conventions, so your package fits the ecosystem from day one.
A community-governed foundation ensuring the long-term maintenance of critical infrastructure.
Core packages
scverse maintains a set of interoperable core packages spanning every step of single-cell and spatial omics analysis, from data structures to modeling.
Ecosystem
A broader ecosystem of packages builds on the scverse core packages. These tools implement models and analytical approaches to tackle challenges in spatial omics, regulatory genomics, trajectory inference, visualization, and more.
Events
scverse hosts hackathons, workshops, and an annual conference to bring the community together throughout the year.
Mission
Scverse is a consortium of foundational tools (mostly in Python) for omics data in life sciences. It has been founded to ensure the long-term maintenance of these core tools.
Team
Scverse is a community project currently governed by the developers of the core packages. Please reach out if you’d like to be involved!
