Star History

1 Introduction

OmicVerse v2 is a unified Python project for modern transcriptomics and multi-omics analysis. It brings together bulk RNA-seq, single-cell, spatial transcriptomics, downstream visualization, model-based analysis, and AI-assisted workflows in one package and documentation system.

[!NOTE] OmicVerse v2 is organized as a broader analysis platform rather than a single-method package. In addition to core analysis modules, it now includes agent-style workflows through J.A.R.V.I.S., MCP-based tool serving for AI clients, and a growing documentation/tutorial system under omicverse_guide.

3 General Getting Started

OmicVerse can be installed via conda or pypi and you need to install pytorch at first. Please refer to the installation tutorial for more detailed installation steps and adaptations for different platforms (Windows, Linux or Mac OS).

You can use conda install omicverse -c conda-forge or pip install -U omicverse for installation.

Please checkout the documentations and tutorials at omicverse page or omicverse.readthedocs.io.

4 J.A.R.V.I.S Getting Started

4.1 OpenClaw

OmicVerse provide an directly interact analysis with OpenClaw project. You can use

omicverse claw 'help me annotate the lung scrna-seq'

This module supported by ov.Agent function. And i think that will be convinent for you to analysis the anndata using OpenClaw.

The full tutorial could be found at here

4.2 MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

OmicVerse provide an MCP server that exposes registered analysis tools to AI assistants (Claude Code, etc.) via the standard Model Context Protocol.

# Install with MCP dependencies
pip install -e "omicverse[mcp]"

# Start the server (stdio transport)
python -m omicverse.mcp        # or: omicverse-mcp
python -m omicverse.mcp --phase P0   # core pipeline tools only

The full tutorial could be found at here

4.3 J.A.R.V.I.S Msg system

If you want to analysis the AnnData using Mobile Phone, maybe you can try

# Install with jarvis dependencies
pip install "omicverse[jarvis]"

# Start to chat with JARVIS using telegram
omicverse jarvis --channel telegram --token "$TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN"

The full tutorial could be found at here

4 Data Framework and Reference

The omicverse is implemented as an infrastructure based on the following four data structures.

Included Package not published or preprint

• [1] Cellula is to provide a toolkit for the exploration of scRNA-seq. These tools perform common single-cell analysis tasks
• [2] pegasus is a tool for analyzing transcriptomes of millions of single cells. It is a command line tool, a python package and a base for Cloud-based analysis workflows.
• [3] cNMF is an analysis pipeline for inferring gene expression programs from single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) data.

6 Developer Guild and Contributing

If you would like to contribute to omicverse, please refer to our developer documentation.

Running tests locally

Install the test dependencies and execute the suite with pytest:

pip install -e .[tests]
# or install the pinned latest requirements
pip install -r requirements-latest.txt

pytest

The optional tests extra and the requirements-latest.txt file now include pytest-asyncio>=0.23, which is required for the asynchronous streaming tests under tests/utils/.
