class HarmonizeFeatures:
"""Harmonize gene/feature identifiers across multiple single-cell expression datasets.
This manager streamlines the otherwise error-prone task of bringing heterogeneous gene identifiers
(Ensembl IDs, gene symbols, etc.) into a single, version-controlled namespace before integrated
downstream analysis. Under the hood it leverages :py:class:`idtrack.api.API` to resolve identifier
mappings through a pre-computed Ensembl graph, handles one-to-many and one-to-zero conversions, logs
any ambiguous or inconsistent matches, and finally produces harmonised
:py:class:`anndata.AnnData` objects ready for comparative or joint analysis.
The public workflow is intentionally simple:
* :py:meth:`feature_harmonizer` — convert a single dataset and return the filtered ``AnnData`` plus
before/after feature counts.
* :py:meth:`unify_multiple_anndatas` — apply harmonisation across *all* supplied datasets and return
an integrated object.
* :py:meth:`get_idtrack_matchings_for_all_datasets` — inspect the raw IDTrack matchings used.
Instances keep several diagnostic attributes (e.g. ``removed_conversion_failed_identifiers``,
``multiple_ensembl_dict``) so that users can audit every decision that removed or altered a feature.
Args:
project_name (str): Human-readable label used in log messages and derived output file names.
data_h5ad_dict (dict[str, str]): Mapping *dataset_alias → absolute .h5ad path* of the source
single-cell expression matrices.
project_local_repository (str): Writable directory where harmonised outputs, logs, and temporary
artefacts will be stored.
idtrack_local_repository (str): Local clone or cache directory understood by
:py:class:`idtrack.api.API`; used to read the pre-built identifier graph.
target_ensembl_release (int): Ensembl release that all identifiers will be converted *to*. Must
be ≤ *graph_last_ensembl_release*.
final_database (str): Canonical namespace kept after conversion (e.g. ``"HGNC Symbol"``).
Defaults to ``"HGNC Symbol"``.
organism_name (str): Ensembl-style organism short name (e.g. ``"homo_sapiens"``).
Defaults to ``"homo_sapiens"``.
graph_last_ensembl_release (int): Highest release present in the on-disk IDTrack graph.
Defaults to ``114``.
verbose_level (Literal[0, 1, 2]): Logging verbosity; 0 = errors only, 1 = warnings, 2 =
info. Defaults to ``2``.
debugging_variables (bool): Retain heavy intermediate structures for post-mortem
inspection. Defaults to ``False``.
converted_id_column (str): Column name used to store converted identifiers inside the
resulting ``AnnData.var`` DataFrame. Defaults to ``"converted_id"``.
Attributes:
idt (idtrack.api.API): Lazily initialised IDTrack interface used for all identifier look-ups.
multiple_ensembl_dict (dict[str, list[str]]): Map of collapsed IDs to *all* Ensembl IDs that were
originally associated with the same target identifier.
removed_conversion_failed_identifiers (dict[str, set[str]]): Features that failed conversion and
were dropped from each dataset.
kept_conversion_failed_identifiers (dict[str, set[str]]): Non-convertible features kept because
they were consistently non-convertible across *all* datasets.
removed_inconsistent_identifier_matching (dict[str, set[str]]): Features whose mappings disagreed
between datasets and were therefore removed for consistency.

"""Merge several study-specific :py:class:`anndata.AnnData` objects into a single, consolidated dataset.
This helper finalises the *feature-harmonisation* workflow. Earlier stages ensure that every source study
expresses its features (e.g. genes or proteins) in a consistent identifier namespace and that per-cell
metadata follow a shared schema. *unify_multiple_anndatas* takes those already normalised objects—stored in
:py:attr:`~HarmonizeFeatures.data_h5ad_dict`—and fuses them into one coherent :py:class:`~anndata.AnnData`
ready for joint analysis (dimensionality reduction, batch correction, integrated clustering, etc.).
Two strategies govern how the function reconciles mismatched feature sets:
* ``"union"`` (default) preserves the superset of all identifiers. If a particular study lacks a feature,
its expression values are imputed as exact zeros. This choice maximises information retention at the
cost of a sparse matrix with assay-dependent missingness.
* ``"intersect"`` retains only the identifiers present in *every* study, implicitly discarding features
unique to a subset. This yields a denser matrix that is easier to factorise but sacrifices potentially
informative study-specific biology.
Beyond concatenating the main :py:attr:`~anndata.AnnData.X` matrices, the routine also harmonises associated
annotations:
* **.var (feature annotations)**
All columns are outer-joined across studies. Non-shared categorical values are unioned; numeric columns
specified in *numeric_var_columns* are cast to floating point and NaNs inserted where data are missing.
In *union* mode an additional boolean ``"intersection"`` column flags whether a feature survived the
*intersect* filter, enabling fast subsetting later.
* **.obs (cell annotations)**
Each original column is kept if its name appears in *obs_columns_to_keep* **or** if it exists in every
study. Missing columns are created and populated with ``pandas.NA``. Columns listed in
*numeric_obs_columns* are coerced to ``float64``. A new column named *handle_anndata_key* stores the
handle (dictionary key) that identifies the originating study, making it trivial to stratify analyses.
* **.layers, .obsp, .varp, .uns**
This method uses :py:meth:`anndata.AnnData.concat` for this.
The implementation is mindful of scalability: concatenation leverages SciPy CSR/CSC sparse formats,
avoiding densification, and streaming allocation prevents double memory use for extremely large datasets.
Args:
mode (Literal["union", "intersect"]): Strategy for reconciling discordant feature sets. ``"union"``
keeps every identifier observed across studies (padding absent entries with zeros); ``"intersect"``
restricts the result to identifiers common to *all* studies. Defaults to ``"union"``.
obs_columns_to_keep (list[str] | None): Names of per-cell metadata columns that must survive the merge
even if they appear in only a subset of studies (e.g. *cell_type*, *donor_age*). When a column is
missing from a particular study, it is inserted and filled with ``pandas.NA``. Provide an empty
list to allow the routine to decide purely by intersection; ``None`` means “no user preference”.
numeric_var_columns (set[str] | None): Columns in ``.var`` that should retain numeric dtype. The
function validates that each specified column can be losslessly converted to floating point;
otherwise it raises :py:class:`ValueError`. Non-listed columns default to ``category`` dtype to
conserve memory. If ``None`` an empty set is assumed.
numeric_obs_columns (set[str] | None): Analogous to *numeric_var_columns* but applied to ``.obs``.
Conversions are performed *after* the table has been unioned, ensuring consistent dtype across the
final concatenated frame. If ``None`` an empty set is assumed.
handle_anndata_key (str): Name of the column inserted into ``.obs`` that records the dictionary key of
the source study. This provenance tag facilitates stratified visualisation (e.g. UMAP coloured by
batch) and downstream batch-correction utilities that expect a “batch” column. Defaults to
``"handle_anndata"``.
Returns:
anndata.AnnData: A fully merged expression matrix whose ``.X`` contains either the union or intersection
of all study features. Index ordering follows the order in which studies were supplied, ensuring
deterministic output for reproducible pipelines. The result inherits sparse/dense representation from
the first study unless *mode* forces feature padding, in which case CSR/CSC is chosen automatically to
keep memory use in check.
Raises:
ValueError: If *mode* is not ``"union"`` or ``"intersect"``; if any column listed in
*numeric_var_columns* or *numeric_obs_columns* fails numeric coercion; or if feature identifiers
clash across studies after harmonisation (e.g. two studies mapping different genes to the same ID).
AssertionError: If duplicate cell or feature indices are detected post-merge, a condition that would
break many Scanpy workflows and indicates upstream validation errors.
Notes:
*Performance considerations*
The operation is CPU-bound when aligning large sparse matrices. For
datasets exceeding ~1 million cells, empirical benchmarks show that running on Python 3.11 with MKL
yields a 2-3x speed-up over Python 3.8 due to better sparse BLAS threading. Provide pre-compressed
datasets (``hdf5``, ``zarr``) to further lower I/O overhead.
*Thread safety*
The method is re-entrant but **not** thread-safe because it mutates the source
:py:class:`~anndata.AnnData` objects in-place to reduce copying. Invoke one instance per process or
deep-copy the inputs beforehand if concurrent harmonisation is required.
*Extensibility*
Sub-classes may override private hooks
:py:meth:`_before_concat`, :py:meth:`_after_concat`, and :py:meth:`_merge_uns` to refine behaviour without
re-implementing the full algorithm.
