MultimodalExperiment
MultimodalExperiment is an S4 class that integrates bulk and single-cell experiment data; it is optimally storage-efficient, and its methods are exceptionally fast. It effortlessly represents multimodal data of any nature and features normalized experiment, subject, sample, and cell annotations, which are related to underlying biological experiments through maps. Its coordination methods are opt-in and employ database-like join operations internally to deliver fast and flexible management of multimodal data.

Defines a S4 class for storing data from single-cell experiments. This includes specialized methods to store and retrieve spike-in information, dimensionality reduction coordinates and size factors for each cell, along with the usual metadata for genes and libraries.
A collection of tools for doing various analyses of single-cell RNA-seq gene expression data, with a focus on quality control and visualization.
Spaniel includes a series of tools to aid the quality control and analysis of Spatial Transcriptomics data. Spaniel can import data from either the original Spatial Transcriptomics system or 10X Visium technology. The package contains functions to create a SingleCellExperiment Seurat object and provides a method of loading a histologial image into R. The spanielPlot function allows visualisation of metrics contained within the S4 object overlaid onto the image of the tissue.
GraphExperiment provides users and developers with an S4 class that extends `SingleCellExperiment` by offering infrastructure to store and retrieve networks (`igraph` objects) representing how features are associated with each other. The class was designed to store networks inferred from high-dimensional quantitative data, including gene coexpression networks (GCNs), gene regulatory networks (GRNs), and co-abundance networks (from proteomics and metabolomics), as well as networks inferred from other types of data (e.g., protein-protein interactions).
The LoomExperiment package provide a means to easily convert the Bioconductor "Experiment" classes to loom files and vice versa.
Read in imaging-based spatial transcriptomics technology data. Current available modules are for Xenium by 10X Genomics, CosMx by Nanostring, MERSCOPE by Vizgen, or STARmapPLUS from Broad Institute. You can choose to read the data in as a SpatialExperiment or a SingleCellExperiment object.
