to visualize spatially-resolved transcriptomics data Leonardo Collado Torres, LIBD Investigator + Asst. Prof. Johns Hopkins Biostatistics Festival of Genomics & Biodata June 13 2024 Slides available at speakerdeck.com/lcolladotor
- A slide contains 4 capture areas, each full of thousands of 55um-wide “spots” (often containing 1-10 cells) - Unique barcodes in each spot bind to particular genes; after sequencing, gene expression can be tied back to exact spots, forming a spatial map Kristen R. Maynard 5
other tools) • DropletUtils::read10xVisium() → spatialLIBD::read10xVisiumWrapper() • Spot QC ◦ Drop high mitochondria % spots? ◦ Drop spots with low UMI counts? ▪ Biological vs technical reasons • Spot clustering (spatially-aware) and/or manual annotation • Choosing a spot clustering resolution ◦ Can be guided by spatially cluster registration

• Immediately make them after running SpaceRanger • Update them as we generate more results • Share them with the publication of the results • spatial.libd.org/spatialLIBD/ • research.libd.org/spatialDLPFC/#interactive-websites • research.libd.org/Visium_SPG_AD/#interactive-websites • …
think adding 0, multiplying by 1 • It nearly always takes a team • Data sharing accelerates science + democratizes access to it • Zooming in allows us to reduce the heterogeneity • We can learn from each other: from uniformly processing our data & re-using it → replicate / validate?
