VectraPolarisData

The VectraPolarisData package provides two large multiplex immunofluorescence datasets, collected using Vectra 3 and Vectra Polaris instruments. Data included a study of lung cancer and a study of ovarian cancer, and are provided as objects of class SpatialExperiment.

Installation instructions

Until the next update of Bioconductor in April, the package is currently only available through GitHub and requires the developer version of Bioconductor to be installed:

# This will also require you to install the devel version of R from CRAN
if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly=TRUE))
    install.packages("BiocManager")
BiocManager::install(version = "devel")


BiocManager::install("julia-wrobel/VectraPolarisData")


# Installation instructions once new version of Bioc is available
# if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) {
#     install.packages("BiocManager")
# }

#BiocManager::install("VectraPolarisData")

Example

Here you can load data from the package. Data from the lung cancer study are loaded below.

library(VectraPolarisData)
spe_lung <- HumanLungCancerV3()
spe_lung

Data from the ovarian cancer study are loaded below.

spe_ovarian <- HumanOvarianCancerVP()
spe_ovarian

These datasets are provided as SpatialExperiment class objects. More detailed information about these datasets is available in the package vignette.
