AnnData.
var_names_make_unique
(join='-')¶ Makes the index unique by appending a number string to each duplicate index element: ‘1’, ‘2’, etc.
If a tentative name created by the algorithm already exists in the index, it tries the next integer in the sequence.
The first occurrence of a non-unique value is ignored.
Examples
>>> from anndata import AnnData >>> adata = AnnData(np.ones((2, 3)), var=pd.DataFrame(index=["a", "a", "b"])) >>> adata.var_names Index(['a', 'a', 'b'], dtype='object') >>> adata.var_names_make_unique() >>> adata.var_names Index(['a', 'a-1', 'b'], dtype='object')
