About

Maintained by Oscar OspinaFirst published 2025-05-133 releasesCRAN page ↗

Visualization and analysis of spatially resolved transcriptomics data. The 'spatialGE' R package provides methods for visualizing and analyzing spatially resolved transcriptomics data, such as 10X Visium, CosMx, or csv/tsv gene expression matrices. It includes tools for spatial interpolation, autocorrelation analysis, tissue domain detection, gene set enrichment, and differential expression analysis using spatial mixed models.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)

install.packages("spatialGE", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-spatialge

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make
