scvelo
RNA velocity analysis with scVelo. Estimate cell state transitions from unspliced/spliced mRNA dynamics, infer trajectory directions, compute latent time, and identify driver genes in single-cell RNA-seq data. Complements Scanpy/scVI-tools for trajectory inference.

About this skill
About this skill
scVelo is the leading Python package for RNA velocity analysis in single-cell RNA-seq data. It infers cell state transitions by modeling the kinetics of mRNA splicing — using the ratio of unspliced (pre-mRNA) to spliced (mature mRNA) abundances to determine whether a gene is being upregulated or downregulated in each cell. This allows reconstruction of developmental trajectories and identification of cell fate decisi
