Alterlab Squidpy Spatial

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-squidpy-spatial

Analyzes spatial transcriptomics with squidpy (1.8.x) on AnnData and SpatialData objects, routing platforms correctly: Visium spots use spatial_neighbors(coord_type='grid') and pair with deconvolution, while Xenium/MERFISH single-cell data use coord_type='generic'/Delaunay neighbors and spatialdata-io readers (xenium, visium_hd, merscope). Runs sq.gr.spatial_neighbors, nhood_enrichment, co_occurrence, spatial_autocorr (Moran's I for spatially variable genes), ripley, and ligrec. Use when the user wants spatial transcriptomics, squidpy, Visium/Xenium/MERFISH analysis, neighborhood enrichment, co-occurrence, or spatially variable genes; QC/clustering uses alterlab-scanpy and spot deconvolution (destVI/Tangram) uses alterlab-scvi-tools. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
