Data subsetting method

[ahy1221]

Is there a plan to add data subset method for extracting some particular cells for the anndata object ?

[falexwolf]

What do you mean beyond subsetting via adata[my_cells] where my_cells could be any valid numpy indexing object?

Do we have this method now? "subsetting via adata[my_cells] where my_cells could be any valid numpy indexing object"

Does adata[my_cells] not work for you?

[elfore]

It worked for me, thanks

Does anyone know why adata[my_cells,:] stopped working?

[ivirshup]

@brianpenghe, could you elaborate on that? A traceback and versions would be useful.

@brianpenghe, could you elaborate on that? A traceback and versions would be useful.

It seems that subsetting an anndata used to work by two methods:
adata[my_cells,:]
adata[my_cells]

But it seems that recently only the second method works, after I've already subsetted the anndata once.

Hmm. I can't immediately reproduce that. Could you open a new issue and provide some more info there? Things like version numbers and the traceback. It'd be especially helpful if you could reproduce this with some randomly generated data or one of the example datasets.
