{anndataR} brings native AnnData interoperability to the R ecosystem, enabling seamless interaction between Python-based single-cell workflows and R-based analysis environments. It allows users to read, write, and manipulate .h5ad files directly in R, lowering barriers between ecosystems and facilitating reproducible multi-language workflows.
The package provides robust conversion utilities between AnnData and common R data structures such as SingleCellExperiment and Seurat objects. By maintaining metadata integrity and structural consistency during conversion, anndataR enables researchers to move between tools without loss of information or cumbersome format handling.
anndataR is particularly valuable for collaborative projects where both Python and R pipelines are used, and for users who wish to leverage the growing AnnData-based ecosystem while staying within Bioconductor workflows. The package is available through Bioconductor and is accompanied by comprehensive documentation and examples.
