VisiumIO

The package allows users to readily import spatial data obtained from the 10X Xenium Analyzer pipeline. Supported formats include 'parquet', 'h5', and 'mtx' files. The package mainly represents data as SpatialExperiment objects.

'HuBMAP' provides an open, global bio-molecular atlas of the human body at the cellular level. The `datasets()`, `samples()`, `donors()`, `publications()`, and `collections()` functions retrieves the information for each of these entity types. `*_details()` are available for individual entries of each entity type. `*_derived()` are available for retrieving derived datasets or samples for individual entries of each entity type. Data files can be accessed using `bulk_data_transfer()`.

Provides a structured S4 approach to importing data files from the 10X pipelines. It mainly supports Single Cell Multiome ATAC + Gene Expression data among other data types. The main Bioconductor data representations used are SingleCellExperiment and RaggedExperiment.

MoleculeExperiment contains functions to create and work with objects from the new MoleculeExperiment class. We introduce this class for analysing molecule-based spatial transcriptomics data (e.g., Xenium by 10X, Cosmx SMI by Nanostring, and Merscope by Vizgen). This allows researchers to analyse spatial transcriptomics data at the molecule level, and to have standardised data formats accross vendors.

'OSTA.data' is a companion package for the "Orchestrating Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis" (OSTA) with Bioconductor online book. Throughout OSTA, we rely on a set of publicly available datasets that cover different sequencing- and imaging-based platforms, such as Visium, Visium HD, Xenium (10x Genomics) and CosMx (NanoString). In addition, we rely on scRNA-seq (Chromium) data for tasks, e.g., spot deconvolution and label transfer (i.e., supervised clustering). These data been deposited in an Open Storage Framework (OSF) repository, and can be queried and downloaded using functions from the 'osfr' package. For convenience, we have implemented 'OSTA.data' to query and retrieve data from our OSF node, and cache retrieved Zip archives using 'BiocFileCache'.

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