ST Spot Detector: A web-based application for automatic spot and tissue detection for spatial Transcriptomics image datasets

Abstract

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.
