SpatialExperiment

This package is for version 3.15 of Bioconductor; for the stable, up-to-date release version, see SpatialExperiment.

S4 Class for Spatially Resolved Transcriptomics Data


Bioconductor version: 3.15

Defines an S4 class for storing data from spatially resolved transcriptomics (ST) experiments. The class extends SingleCellExperiment to support storage and retrieval of additional information from spot-based and molecule-based ST platforms, including spatial coordinates, images, and image metadata. A specialized constructor function is included for data from the 10x Genomics Visium platform.
