AnnData interoperability in R

Bioconductor version: 3.24 · Package version: 1.3.2

Bring the power and flexibility of AnnData to the R ecosystem, allowing you to effortlessly manipulate and analyse your single-cell data. This package lets you work with backed h5ad and zarr files, directly access various slots (e.g. X, obs, var), or convert the data into SingleCellExperiment and Seurat objects.
