Get the observation metadata for a query on the census.

Parameters:

  • census – The census object, usually returned by open_soma().

  • organism – The organism to query, usually one of "Homo sapiens or "Mus musculus"

  • value_filter – Value filter for the obs metadata. Value is a filter query written in the SOMA value_filter syntax.

  • coords – Coordinates for the obs axis, which is indexed by the soma_joinid value. May be an int, a list of int, or a slice. The default, None, selects all.

  • column_names – Columns to fetch.

Returns:

A pandas.DataFrame object containing metadata for the queried slice.
