mudata.read

mudata.read(filename, **kwargs)

Read an .h5mu formatted HDF5 file or a single modality inside it.

This function is designed to enhance I/O ease of use. It recognises the following formats of filename:

• FILE.h5mu

• FILE.h5ad

• FILE.h5mu/MODALITY

• FILE.h5mu/mod/MODALITY

The last two variantes will read the modality MODALITY and return an AnnData object.

Parameters:

• filename – The file name or an fsspec object.

• **kwargs – additional arguments to read_h5ad() or read_h5mu().

Examples

>>> mdata = read("file.h5mu")

>>> adata = read("file.h5mu/rna")

>>> with fsspec.open("s3://bucket/file.h5mu") as f:
...     mdata = read(f)
