## Requirements

Create `requirements.txt`:

```
numpy==1.24.3
scipy==1.11.1
pandas==2.0.3
scanpy==1.9.3
matplotlib==3.7.2
seaborn==0.12.2
requests==2.31.0
h5py==3.9.0
packaging==23.1
```

## Self-Verification Test

After running the pipeline, verify results:

```bash
# Run pipeline
python3 determsc.py --output_dir ./results --json_output > ./results/run_output.json

# Verify results
python3 -c "
import json
with open('./results/results.json') as f:
    r = json.load(f)
assert r['status'] == 'success', 'Pipeline failed'
assert r['metrics']['cells_after_qc'] > 2000, 'Too few cells after QC'
assert r['metrics']['n_clusters'] >= 5, 'Too few clusters'
assert r['metrics']['n_markers'] >= 20, 'Too few markers'
assert r['validation']['is_valid'], 'Validation failed'
print('All assertions passed!')
"
```
