Class methods¶

classmethod df(include=None, features=False, limit=100)¶

Convert to pd.DataFrame.

By default, shows all direct fields, except updated_at.

Use arguments include or feature to include other data.

Parameters:

include (str | list[str] | None, default: None) – Related fields to include as columns. Takes strings of form "ulabels__name", "cell_types__name", etc. or a list of such strings.
features (bool | list[str], default: False) – If True, map all features of the Feature registry onto the resulting DataFrame. Only available for Artifact.
limit (int, default: 100) – Maximum number of rows to display from a Pandas DataFrame. Defaults to 100 to reduce database load.

Return type:

DataFrame

Examples

Include the name of the creator in the DataFrame:

>>> ln.ULabel.df(include="created_by__name"])

Include display of features for Artifact:

>>> df = ln.Artifact.df(features=True)
>>> ln.view(df)  # visualize with type annotations

Only include select features:

>>> df = ln.Artifact.df(features=["cell_type_by_expert", "cell_type_by_model"])

classmethod filter(*queries, **expressions)¶

Query records.

Parameters:

queries – One or multiple Q objects.
expressions – Fields and values passed as Django query expressions.

Return type:

QuerySet

Returns:

A QuerySet.

classmethod from_values(values, field=None, create=False, organism=None, source=None, mute=False)¶

Bulk create validated records by parsing values for an identifier such as a name or an id).

Parameters:

values (List[str] | Series | array) – A list of values for an identifier, e.g. ["name1", "name2"].
field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – A Record field to look up, e.g., bt.CellMarker.name.
create (bool, default: False) – Whether to create records if they don’t exist.
organism (Record | str | None, default: None) – A bionty.Organism name or record.
source (Record | None, default: None) – A bionty.Source record to validate against to create records for.
mute (bool, default: False) – Whether to mute logging.

Return type:

RecordList

Returns:

A list of validated records. For bionty registries. Also returns knowledge-coupled records.

Notes

For more info, see tutorial: Manage biological registries.

Examples

Bulk create from non-validated values will log warnings & returns empty list:

>>> ulabels = ln.ULabel.from_values(["benchmark", "prediction", "test"], field="name")
>>> assert len(ulabels) == 0

Bulk create records from validated values returns the corresponding existing records:

>>> ln.save([ln.ULabel(name=name) for name in ["benchmark", "prediction", "test"]])
>>> ulabels = ln.ULabel.from_values(["benchmark", "prediction", "test"], field="name")
>>> assert len(ulabels) == 3

Bulk create records from public reference:

>>> import bionty as bt
>>> records = bt.CellType.from_values(["T cell", "B cell"], field="name")
>>> records

classmethod get(idlike=None, **expressions)¶

Get a single record.

Parameters:

idlike (int | str | None, default: None) – Either a uid stub, uid or an integer id.
expressions – Fields and values passed as Django query expressions.

Return type:

Record

Returns:

>>> ulabel = ln.ULabel.get(name="my-label")

classmethod inspect(values, field=None, *, mute=False, organism=None, source=None)¶

organism (str | Record | None, default: None) – An Organism name or record.
source (Record | None, default: None) – A bionty.Source record that specifies the version to inspect against.

Return type:

InspectResult

classmethod standardize(values, field=None, *, return_field=None, return_mapper=False, case_sensitive=False, mute=False, public_aware=True, keep='first', synonyms_field='synonyms', organism=None, source=None)¶

Maps input synonyms to standardized names.

values (List[str] | Series | array) – Identifiers that will be standardized.
field (str | DeferredAttribute | None, default: None) – The field representing the standardized names.
return_field (str, default: None) – The field to return. Defaults to field.
return_mapper (bool, default: False) – If True, returns {input_value: standardized_name}.
case_sensitive (bool, default: False) – Whether the mapping is case sensitive.

public_aware (bool, default: True) – Whether to standardize from Bionty reference. Defaults to True for Bionty registries.
keep (Literal['first', 'last', False], default: 'first') –
When a synonym maps to multiple names, determines which duplicates to mark as pd.DataFrame.duplicated:
- "first": returns the first mapped standardized name
- "last": returns the last mapped standardized name
- False: returns all mapped standardized name.
When keep is False, the returned list of standardized names will contain nested lists in case of duplicates.

When a field is converted into return_field, keep marks which matches to keep when multiple return_field values map to the same field value.
