SpatialGE: A user-friendly web application to democratize spatial transcriptomics analysis.

ABSTRACT: Spatial transcriptomics (ST) is a powerful tool for understanding tissue biology and disease mechanisms. However, its potential is often underutilized due to the advanced data analysis and programming skills required. To address this, we present spatialGE, a web application that simplifies the analysis of ST data. The application spatialGE provides a user-friendly interface that guides users without programming expertise through various analysis pipelines, including quality control, normalization, domain detection, phenotyping, and multiple spatial analyses. It also enables comparative analysis among samples and supports various ST technologies. We demonstrate the utility of spatialGE through its application in studying the tumor microenvironment of melanoma brain metastasis and Merkel cel
