Squidpy: a scalable framework for spatial single cell analysis

Abstract

Abstract Spatial omics data are advancing the study of tissue organization and cellular communication at an unprecedented scale. Here, we present Squidpy, a Python framework that brings together tools from omics and image analysis to enable scalable description of spatial molecular data, such as transcriptome or multivariate proteins. Squidpy provides both infrastructure and numerous analysis methods that allow to efficiently store, manipulate and interactively visualize spatial omics data.
