When doing single-cell RNA sequencing work, we firstly do clustering by community detection. Then we match the clusters to major cell types, which forms a cluster tree. Following cluster tree represents Allen Human Brain Atlas:
We usually need to select a branch for analysis, which helps us investigate on gene differential expressions on cell subtypes. This package sctreeshap constructs a data structure, which helps us quickly filter data whose clusters are under a specific branch (or in a specific cluster set). Moreover, it can run shap automatically to indicate marker genes.

Resolve dependency error:
pathlib with pathlib2 since pathlib has no longer been supported in Python 3.10;Bug fixes: fix function geneFiltering error for the deprecated pandas.DataFrame.iteritems() function.
In v0.7.0--v0.7.4, we mainly worked for supporting probability output for shap values. This is not stable and could not deal with a large feature set. Therefore, try using geneFiltering() before setting output as probability.
A sample code is as follows:
from sctreeshap import sctreeshap
sample = sctreeshap()
sample_dataset = sample.loadDefault()
print(sample_dataset)
## Select non-neuron branch
sample_dataset = sample.selectBranch(sample_dataset, 'n70')
sample_dataset = sample.geneFiltering(sample_dataset, 0.3)
## Run explainer
sample.explainBinary(sample_dataset, 'Micro L1-3 TYROBP', shap_params = {
"model_output": 'probability', # set output mode as 'probability'
"bar_plot" : True,
"beeswarm" : True,
"decision_plot" : True
})
sample.explainMulti(sample_dataset, shap_params = {
"model_output" : 'probability', # set output mode as 'probability'
"bar_plot" : True,
"beeswarm" : True,
"decision_plot" : True
})
While in v0.7.5, we supported custom models in explainBinary() and explainMulti(). Currently, there is a new parameter model in the two function. You can set model='XGBClassifier', model='RandomForestClassifier' or model='DecisionTreeClassifier'. However, in the most cases the default XGBClassifier has the best accuracy. You can also set the model as one you defined, like some neuron networks, which may even outperform xgboost models. We do not ensure that shap explainer supports your custom model.
Directly install by pip:
pip install sctreeshap
Or by conda:
conda create -n sctreeshap python=3.8
conda activate sctreeshap
pip install sctreeshap
An example dataset, human brain MTG cell type, can be analyzed as default:
# Run in Jupyter Notebook
from sctreeshap import sctreeshap
sample = sctreeshap()
sample_dataset = sample.loadDefault()
print(sample_dataset)
## Select non-neuron branch
sample_dataset = sample.selectBranch(sample_dataset, 'n70')
## Run explainer
sample.explainMulti(sample_dataset)
The further details in the process are discussed in the following documents.
A sctreeshap object construction needs a python dict reflecting the tree structure. Here is an example of the cluster tree above.

Sample = sctreeshap(tree_arr)
The keys of the dict represent the name of each tree node, while the values represent the children of each node (the tree can be either binary or multi-children). Note that clusters do not need to be assigned as a key, since they are the leaf nodes in the tree and do not have children.
Then you can read in data by:
data = Sample.readData('samplefile.csv', output='DataFrame')
which can recognize .csv, .pkl, .h5ad, .loom, and .xlsx file, and will return an AnnData or DataFrame object.
For the cluster tree in the beginning of this documentation, the corresponding dataset can be loaded by:
data = Sample.loadDefault()
After reading in data, you can select a branch in the cluster tree. Cells with clusters not under the branch will be filtered:
# Select non-neuron branch: n70
data = Sample.selectBranch(data, 'n70')
You can also filter low-expressed genes, housekeeping genes and general genes by:
prefix = ["MT", "RPS", "RPL", "HSP", "HLA"]
housekeeping = Sample.loadHousekeeping('human')
data = Sample.geneFiltering(data, min_partial=0.3, gene_set=housekeeping, gene_prefix=prefix, use_PCA=False)
print(data)
Then genes expressed in <30% cells will be filtered. Genes in gene_set or with prefix in gene_prefix will also be filtered.
You can merge clusters under a branch if needed:
data = Sample.mergeBranch(data, 'n73')
This relabels cells with cluster ['OPC L1-6 PDGFRA', 'Astro L1-6 FGFR3 SLC14A1', 'Astro L1-2 FGFR3 GFAP'] as n73.
Note: this part is recommended to run in jupyter notebook.
After reading in the data and filtering, you can build multi-classification model and generate shap figures:
Sample.explainMulti(
data,
use_SMOTE=False,
nthread=48, # multi-thread
shap_params={
"max_display": 10,
"bar_plot": True,
"beeswarm": False,
"decision_plot": False
}
)
or build binary-classification model and generate shap figures:
Sample.explainBinary(
data,
cluster_name='Micro L1-3 TYROBP',
use_SMOTE=False,
nthread=48, # multi-thread
shap_params={
"max_display": 10,
"bar_plot": True,
"beeswarm": True,
"force_plot": False,
"heat_map": False,
"decision_plot": False
}
)
After running explainBinary() or explainMulti(), you can run:
shap_values = Sample.getShapValues()
marker_genes = Sample.getTopGenes()
to get shapley values and marker genes (with top absolute mean shap values).
For more functions, you can refer to the documentations by printing the help function out:
print(Sample.help('documentations'))
and query the details of a function by:
function_name = 'readData' # Can be whatever the function in the class
print(Sample.help(function_name))
