Overview of the Pyrfume ecosystem. Under the Pyrfume standard, data are always linked to the odor stimuli comprising a given experiment. The features, or experimental measurements, will depend on the particular experiment, but could include data such as amplitudes of glomerular calcium transients, vectorized perceptual descriptors, receptor sensitivities, etc. Any given data archive on Pyrfume (>40 to date) can be easily fetched by using the Pyrfume python and R packages or downloaded directly from GitHub as a zipfile. The orange rows of the odorant x feature matrices indicate odorant molecules, identified with CIDs, common across the experiments. The ability to easily extract data for a given molecule across experimental modalities and model systems is a unique strength of Pyrfume. See Supplementary Figures S1, S2 for examples of this.
