Moscot - Multiomics Single-cell Optimal Transport

docs/_static/img/light_mode_concept_revised.png

docs/_static/img/dark_mode_concept_revised.png

moscot is a framework for Optimal Transport (OT) applications in single-cell genomics. It scales to large datasets and can be used for a variety of applications across different modalities.

moscot's key applications

  • Trajectory inference (incorporating spatial and lineage information).
  • Mapping cells to their spatial organisation.
  • Aligning spatial transcriptomics slides.
  • Translating modalities.
  • prototyping of new OT models in single-cell genomics.
  • ... and more, check out the documentation for more information.

moscot is powered by OTT which is a JAX-based Optimal Transport toolkit that supports just-in-time compilation, GPU acceleration, automatic differentiation and linear memory complexity for OT problems.

Installation

Install moscot by running:

pip install moscot
