regvelo.datasets.zebrafish_nc(file_path='data/zebrafish_nc/adata_zebrafish_preprocessed.h5ad')[source]

Load zebrafish neural crest (NC) single-cell RNA-seq dataset.

This dataset contains Smart-seq3 data across seven time points during NC development, including four distinct phases:

  1. Specification at the neural plate border (NPB),

  2. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) from the neural tube,

  3. Peripheral migration, and

  4. Differentiation into distinct cell types.

Parameters:

file_path (str | Path) – Path to local dataset. Will download from remote URL if not found.

Return type:

AnnData

Returns:

: Annotated data object of zebrafish NC cells.
