MOTIVATION: Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) is a technique that combines high-resolution imaging with spatially resolved transcriptome-wide sequencing. This novel type of data opens up many possibilities for analysis and visualization, most of which are either not available with standard tools or too complex for normal users. RESULTS: Here, we present a tool, ST Viewer, which allows real-time interaction, analysis and visualization of Spatial Transcriptomics datasets through a seamless and smooth user interface. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The ST Viewer is open source under a MIT license and it is available at https://github.com/SpatialTranscriptomicsResearch/st_viewer. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Motiviation: Spatial Transcriptomics (ST) is a method which combines high resolution tissue imaging with high troughput transcriptome sequencing data. This data must be aligned with the images for correct visualization, a process that involves several manual steps. Results: Here we present ST Spot Detector, a web tool that automates and facilitates this alignment through a user friendly interface. Contact: [email protected].

MOTIVATION: In recent years we have witnessed an increase in novel RNA-seq based techniques for transcriptomics analysis. Spatial transcriptomics is a novel RNA-seq based technique that allows spatial mapping of transcripts in tissue sections. The spatial resolution adds an extra level of complexity, which requires the development of new tools and algorithms for efficient and accurate data processing. RESULTS: Here we present a pipeline to automatically and efficiently process RNA-seq data obtained from spatial transcriptomics experiments to generate datasets for downstream analysis. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The ST Pipeline is open source under a MIT license and it is available at https://github.com/SpatialTranscriptomicsResearch/st_pipeline. CONTACT: [email protected].
