🔬 Check Gene Expression on UMAP in scRNA-seq Datasets

This script allows you to visualize gene expression (e.g., marker genes) on UMAP embeddings from single-cell RNA-seq datasets, specifically using:

• Sanofi CD45+ dataset
• Khavari et al., 2020
• Lyko et al., 2023
• Zou et al., 2024

---

🚀 Quick Start

1. Activate Conda Environment

Ensure you're in the correct environment:

conda activate R_python2

### 2. Run the Script
python umap_plot_Sanofi_Khavari_Lyko_Zou_Mar25.py \
    --colors CD68,CD163 \
    --save_path ./macrophage_markers

⚙️ Arguments
	•--colors: Comma-separated list of genes to plot (e.g., marker genes)
	•--save_path: Directory where the output plots will be saved

🧪 Example Use Case

python umap_plot_Sanofi_Khavari_Lyko_Zou_Mar25.py \
    --colors CD68,CD163 \
    --save_path ./macrophage_markers


📝 Notes
	•	Designed for exploratory marker analysis in scRNA datasets.
	•	Tested with conda env R_python2.
