spicyR
The spicyR package provides a framework for performing inference on changes in spatial relationships between pairs of cell types for cell-resolution spatial omics technologies. spicyR consists of three primary steps: (i) summarizing the degree of spatial localization between pairs of cell types for each image; (ii) modelling the variability in localization summary statistics as a function of cell counts and (iii) testing for changes in spatial localizations associated with a response variable.

scFeatures constructs multi-view representations of single-cell and spatial data. scFeatures is a tool that generates multi-view representations of single-cell and spatial data through the construction of a total of 17 feature types. These features can then be used for a variety of analyses using other software in Biocondutor.
A correlation-based multiview self-organizing map for the characterization of cell types in highly multiplexed in situ imaging cytometry assays (`FuseSOM`) is a tool for unsupervised clustering. `FuseSOM` is robust and achieves high accuracy by combining a `Self Organizing Map` architecture and a `Multiview` integration of correlation based metrics. This allows FuseSOM to cluster highly multiplexed in situ imaging cytometry assays.
lisaClust provides a series of functions to identify and visualise regions of tissue where spatial associations between cell-types is similar. This package can be used to provide a high-level summary of cell-type colocalization in multiplexed imaging data that has been segmented at a single-cell resolution.
The spatialHeatmap package offers the primary functionality for visualizing cell-, tissue- and organ-specific assay data in spatial anatomical images. Additionally, it provides extended functionalities for large-scale data mining routines and co-visualizing bulk and single-cell data. A description of the project is available here: https://spatialheatmap.org.
Useful functions to visualize single cell and spatial data. It supports visualizing 'Seurat', 'SingleCellExperiment' and 'SpatialExperiment' objects through grammar of graphics syntax implemented in 'ggplot2'.
clustSIGNAL: clustering of Spatially Informed Gene expression with Neighbourhood Adapted Learning. A tool for adaptively smoothing and clustering gene expression data. clustSIGNAL uses entropy to measure heterogeneity of cell neighbourhoods and performs a weighted, adaptive smoothing, where homogeneous neighbourhoods are smoothed more and heterogeneous neighbourhoods are smoothed less. This not only overcomes data sparsity but also incorporates spatial context into the gene expression data. The resulting smoothed gene expression data is used for clustering and could be used for other downstream analyses.
