Description

This function converts a count matrix into a SingleCellExperiment object. The barcodes for each spot are added to the coldata of the SingleCellExperiment object and are used in plotting the data.

Usage

2
createSCE(counts, barcodeFile, projectName=projectName, 
                sectionNumber=sectionNo)

Arguments

counts

Raw count matrix or data frame where each row represents a gene and each column represents barcoded location on a spatial transcriptomics slide. The columns should be named using the spot barcode (eg "GTCCGATATGATTGCCGC")

barcodeFile

a tab seperated barcode file supplied by Spatial Trancscriptomics. The file should contains three column: The first column contains the Spatial Transcriptomics barcode, the second and third column equate to the x and y location

projectName

The name of the project which is stored in the Seurat Object.

sectionNumber

The location of the sample on the slide
