SpatialExperiment

Dependencies & Environment

Package-intrinsic requirements from the Bioconductor landing page — reproduce in any R environment.

  • Version: 1.22.0 · Bioconductor: 3.23 · R: ≥ 4.6
  • Depends: SingleCellExperiment
  • Imports: rjson, magick, S4Vectors, SummarizedExperiment, BiocGenerics, BiocFileCache
  • Install: BiocManager::install("SpatialExperiment")

When to Use

  • Spot-Based Spatial Transcriptomics: Representing and manipulating data from spot-based spatial transcriptomics platforms (e.g., 10x Genomics Visium) containing gene expression, spatial coordinates, and histology images using SpatialExperiment() and imgData().
  • Molecule-Resolved Spatial Data: Storing and querying molecule-resolved spatial data (e.g., seqFISH) where exact X-Y coordinates of individual transcripts are recorded, using splitAsBumpyMatrix() and the molecules() accessor.
  • Image Transformations: Applying basic image transformations like rotation and mirroring to spatial images using rotateImg() and mirrorImg().

When NOT to Use

  • For standard single-cell RNA-seq data lacking spatial coordinates, use SingleCellExperiment instead because the spatial-specific slots like spatialCoords and imgData will remain empty and add unnecessary overhead.
  • For pure image processing without transcriptomics, use other imaging tools because SpatialExperiment is designed to link assays (like counts) with spatial metadata.

Data Requirements

  • Assays: A count matrix (e.g., counts) representing gene expression across spatial locations.
  • Spatial Coordinates: A numeric matrix or DataFrame of coordinates (e.g., x and y) for each spot or cell.
  • Image Data (Optional): Images stored as SpatialImage objects within an imgData DataFrame.

Key Parameters

  • assays (required): A list of matrices containing expression data (e.g., counts).
  • spatialCoords (optional): A numeric matrix containing spatial coordinates.
  • spatialCoordsNames (optional): A character vector specifying which colData fields correspond to spatial coordinates.
  • imgData (optional): A DataFrame containing image metadata and SpatialImage objects.
  • colData (optional): A DataFrame containing spot- or cell-level metadata.
  • sample_id (default "sample_01"): A character string specifying the sample identifier.

Best Practices

  • Use spatialCoords() and imgData() accessor functions instead of directly manipulating internal slots to maintain object integrity.
  • For 10x Genomics Visium data, use TENxVisiumList() and import() from the VisiumIO package to automatically load outputs from Space Ranger.
  • Make sample identifiers unique prior to combining objects with cbind() to avoid automatic index appending.

Common Pitfalls

  • Duplicated sample IDs during replacement: Attempting to replace sample_ids with non-unique values returns an error; fix this by ensuring replacement IDs map uniquely to existing ones.
  • Loss of sample IDs: Attempting to remove sample_id by setting it to NULL fails because it is a protected field; fix this by retaining the sample_id or replacing it with valid unique strings.
  • Conflicting spatial coordinates: Supplying both spatialCoords and spatialCoordsNames causes spatialCoordsNames to be ignored; fix this by setting either to NULL to suppress the warning message.

Alternatives

  • SingleCellExperiment: The parent class, which can store coordinates in colData but lacks dedicated spatialCoords and imgData slots.
  • Seurat: Another framework for single-cell and spatial data analysis.
  • Giotto: An independent R package for spatial transcriptomics.

概要と使いどころ

The package contains functions for exploratory oligonucleotide array analysis. The dependence on tkWidgets only concerns few convenience functions. 'affy' is fully functional without it.

ASURAT is a software for single-cell data analysis. Using ASURAT, one can simultaneously perform unsupervised clustering and biological interpretation in terms of cell type, disease, biological process, and signaling pathway activity. Inputting a single-cell RNA-seq data and knowledge-based databases, such as Cell Ontology, Gene Ontology, KEGG, etc., ASURAT transforms gene expression tables into original multivariate tables, termed sign-by-sample matrices (SSMs).
