Harmony batch correction for scRNA-seq and other omics. Removes batch effects from PCA embeddings while preserving biology. Run after PCA, before UMAP. Scales to millions of cells. Python (harmonypy, scanpy) and R (Seurat).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Harmony Batch Correction

## Overview

Harmony is a fast, scalable algorithm for batch integration in single-cell data. It takes a PCA embedding (cells × PCs) as input and returns a corrected embedding from which batch effects have been regressed out via iterative soft-clustering and per-cluster linear regression. The corrected embedding is then used to compute neighbors, UMAP, and downstream clustering — the raw count matrix is never modified. Harmony works for single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and other omics modalities where a PCA-like embedding is available.

## When to Use

- Integrating scRNA-seq datasets from different samples, donors, sequencing runs, or experimental batches that should contain the same cell types
- Removing technical variation (library preparation protocol, 10x chemistry version, sequencing depth, sequencing platform) while preserving biological differences between cell types and conditions
- Performing fast, scalable batch correction on datasets with millions of cells where deep generative model training would be prohibitively slow

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/harmony-batch-correction@sha256:d3b1cc2fb1a9d89d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.7a7d60f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
