This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.2). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.
Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.
Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.
The command set.seed(20200712) was run prior to running
the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results
that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are
reproducible.
Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.
Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.
Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.
Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.
The results in this page were generated with repository version 43ca580. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.
Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for
the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results
(you can use wflow_publish or
wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown
file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it
depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results
were generated:

These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were
made to the R Markdown (analysis/azimuth.Rmd) and HTML
(docs/azimuth.html) files. If you’ve configured a remote
Git repository (see ?wflow_git_remote), click on the

| Rmd | 43ca580 | Dave Tang | 2026-07-31 | Checking out an Azimuth model |
Azimuth provides a reference and a query cell is placed individually on this reference, and then labelled by a weighted vote using the reference cells it lands near.
Install as per the official instructions.
if (!requireNamespace('remotes', quietly = TRUE)) {
install.packages('remotes')
}
remotes::install_github('satijalab/azimuth', ref = 'master')
We will examine the Human PBMC reference that has been downloaded using zenodo_get.
zenodo_get -r 4546839
An Azimuth model holds two files:
ref.Rds, a Seurat object carrying the reference cells,
their labels and a precomputed dimensional
reductionidx.annoy, an approximate nearest neighbor index over
that reduction.azimuth_model <- paste0("data/azimuth_pbmc/")
stopifnot(dir.exists(azimuth_model))
RunAzimuth() calls
Azimuth:::LoadReference() internally; we will call the same
function directly. It accepts a local directory or a URL, and returns a
list of two Seurat objects:
$map used for the annotation, and$plot a lighter copy used only for drawing the
reference UMAP.azimuth_obj <- Azimuth:::LoadReference(path = azimuth_model)
azimuth_obj
$map
An object of class Seurat
5228 features across 36433 samples within 2 assays
Active assay: refAssay (5000 features, 0 variable features)
1 layer present: data
1 other assay present: ADT
2 dimensional reductions calculated: refUMAP, refDR
$plot
An object of class Seurat
1 features across 24760 samples within 1 assay
Active assay: RNA (1 features, 0 variable features)
2 layers present: counts, data
1 dimensional reduction calculated: refUMAP
refAssay is the default assay.
ref_assay_name <- SeuratObject::DefaultAssay(azimuth_obj$map)
ref_assay_name
[1] "refAssay"
We already saw above that there are 5,000 features.
all_features <- rownames(azimuth_obj$map)
length(all_features)
[1] 5000
refDR is the reduction the reference was built with. Its
feature loadings define the coordinate system query cells are projected
into, so its rownames are the genes that can influence where a query
cell lands.
refdr_loadings <- SeuratObject::Loadings(azimuth_obj$map[["refDR"]])
refdr_features <- rownames(refdr_loadings)
dim(refdr_loadings)
[1] 5000 50
SCTAssay.
assay_obj <- azimuth_obj$map[[ref_assay_name]]
assay_obj
SCTAssay data with 5000 features for 36433 cells, and 1 SCTModel(s)
First 10 features:
S100A9, GNLY, S100A8, LYZ, IGKC, NKG7, IGLC2, IGHM, PPBP, CCL5
all(row.names(assay_obj) == all_features)
[1] TRUE
The labels Azimuth can transfer are simply the reference’s metadata columns.
