Single-cell spatial explorer: easy exploration of spatial and multimodal transcriptomics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The development of single-cell technologies yields large datasets of information as diverse and multimodal as transcriptomes, immunophenotypes, and spatial position from tissue sections in the so-called 'spatial transcriptomics'. Currently however, user-friendly, powerful, and free algorithmic tools for straightforward analysis of spatial transcriptomic datasets are scarce.

Results

Here, we introduce Single-Cell Spatial Explorer, an open-source software for multimodal exploration of spatial transcriptomics, examplified with 9 human and murine tissues datasets from 4 different technologies.

Conclusions

Single-Cell Spatial Explorer is a very powerful, versatile, and interoperable tool for spatial transcriptomics analysis.
