| Title: | Investigating regions of interest and performing regional cell type-specific analysis with spatial transcriptomics data |
|---|---|
| Description: | This package analyze spatial transcriptomics data through cross-regional cell type-specific analysis. It selects regions of interest (ROIs) and identifys cross-regional cell type-specific differential signals. The ROIs can be selected using automatic algorithm or through manual selection. It facilitates manual selection of ROIs using a shiny application. |
