A package for the analysis of anatomical tissue structures in spatial omics data


Bioconductor version: Release (3.23)

sosta (Spatial Omics STructure Analysis) is a package for analyzing spatial omics data to explore tissue organization at the anatomical structure level. It reconstructs anatomically relevant structures based on molecular features or cell types. It further calculates a range of metrics at the structure level to quantitatively describe tissue architecture. The package is designed to integrate with other packages for the analysis of spatial omics data.
