SPACO: Spatial Component Analysis for Spatial Sequencing Data

Spatial components offer tools for dimension reduction and spatially variable gene detection for high dimensional spatial transcriptomics data. Construction of a projection onto low-dimensional feature space of spatially dependent metagenes offers pre-processing to clustering, testing for spatial variability and denoising of spatial expression patterns. For more details, see Koehler et al. (2026) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btag052>.
