Description

We are very impressed with the scalability of scanpy. We are interested in performing gene co-expression clustering on large single-cell RNAseq datasets. This typically involves calculating pairwise correlations between genes, then using these correlations as distance metrics for hierarchical and k-means clustering. Does scanpy already support these kinds of analyses?
