Interactive UMAP scanpy

Question

[npont]

Hi Biostars Commu,

Is there a way to hover on the UMAP generated with scanpy and therefore visualize interactively the cells I am pointing at? For example, on my UMAP I have two developmental stages and I would like to easily retrieve the id of the cells at the extremities of the UMAP

Thanks!

I think you should be able to use plotly (docs). The UMAP plot is just a scatter plot. I think it should be possible as well to convert between formats, from matplotlib to plotly (see this post on Stackoverflow).
