## Organization and vision

The growing adoption of Python for single-cell omics data analysis has been catalyzed by [Scanpy](https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-017-1382-0) and [AnnData](https://anndata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

Around this infrastructure an ecosystem of packages has been created by various developers and institutions — extending single-cell analysis to different modalities and addressing challenges at the cutting-edge of single-cell research. We believe that progress in this field can't be silo'd to a few groups. To further nurture the growth of this ecosystem, we've formed a new organization -- scverse.

Scverse is a consortium of tools with users and developers across the world. To sustain the utility and growth of the ecosystem, it’s essential that the core analytic tools are robust and well-maintained. This entails consistent support and improvement of tools beyond what's possible in the conventional single-lab academic setting.

Single-cell and spatial omics have unlocked unprecedented insights into cellular diversity, tissue architecture, and drug responses.
Despite the remarkable progress in computational tools, the diversity and complexity of analyses can still pose challenges.
While the scverse ecosystem provides powerful and interoperable tools such as [Scanpy](https://scanpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), [scvi-tools](https://scvi-tools.org/), [Squidpy](https://squidpy.readthedocs.io/), [AnnData](https://anndata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), [MuData](https://mudata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), and [SpatialData](https://spatialdata.scverse.org/en/latest/), researchers can sometimes face a steep learning curve, particularly when integrating multiple analytical steps or modalities.

Scverse is a community-driven, open-source initiative behind many of the most widely adopted Python tools in single-cell biology, known for promoting modular, interoperable, and scalable analysis across diverse modalities—from transcriptomics to spatial and immune profiling.

# 0.12 released

We're happy to announce that `anndata` 0.12 is out now!

Here, we want to give our users a bit of a deep dive into the new functionality.
We have lots of great features, like zarr v3 support (package and format), full lazy loading, and new API customisability! Let’s dive in!

Want faster cloud access? Try [obstore](https://zarr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/storage.html#object-store) integration for rust-accelerated remote file access
What about faster local reads? Many very small chunks inside shards can be taxing for the current pure-python zarr v3 pipeline.
Thus scverse core developers Philipp Angerer and Ilan Gold together with Lachlan Deakin at ANU co-developed [the zarrs-python package](https://zarrs-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for a python bridge to rust-based io acceleration from Lahclan’s zarrs package.
This acceleration really shines with small, heavily sharded stores! Want to try out direct-to-gpu io? kvikio has [a store for that](https://docs.rapids.ai/api/kvikio/nightly/zarr/#zarr-python-3-x), with a direct-to-GPU zstd codec is coming soon as well! And if all of these new functionalities are a lot to take in, we made [a digestible guide](https://anndata.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/zarr-v3.html) just for you.

And if all of these new functionalities are a lot to take in, we made [a digestible guide](https://anndata.scverse.org/page/tutorials/zarr-v3.html) just for you.

And of course, all of this new functionality has not broken our backwards compatibility.
Anndata 0.12 is still fully zarr v2 compatible, both with the package and the file format.
Upgrade fearlessly!

## Fully lazy file access

Moving on, we have also replaced `anndata.experimental.read_elem_as_dask` with [`anndata.experimental.read_elem_lazy`](https://anndata.readthedocs.io/en/stable/generated/anndata.experimental.read_lazy.html) and [`anndata.experimental.read_lazy`](https://anndata.readthedocs.io/en/stable/generated/anndata.experimental.read_elem_lazy.html).

Why? Because now your dataframes can be lazy too thanks to support from [xarray](https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/user-guide/index.html)!

Now you can instantly and lazily inspect entire anndata stores both locally and remotely for metadata, and then fetch only subsets you need.
Mix this with zarr v3 for performant, fully lazy, fully remote (if needed) access! Want to create a new virtual in-memory anndata objects from many disparate on-disk stores? This new functionality is fully compatible with [`anndata.concat`](https://anndata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/generated/anndata.concat.html).

### gget enables biological interpretation within scverse workflows

Analyses built on scverse tools can be the starting point for biological interpretation.
For example, after clustering with [Scanpy](https://scanpy.readthedocs.io/) and identifying marker genes, you might want to understand what those genes do, how they are expressed across tissues, whether they are associated with disease, and how their protein products are structured.

Without tooling answering these questions means leaving Python and visiting several web portals.

gget closes that loop and is designed for exactly the questions arising at the end of a scverse analysis.
