Features

12 Computational Methods

Identify spatially variable genes (SVGs) across different tissues is a central question in spatial transcriptomics analysis. We collect and curate seven statistical methods from current literature. We also applied them on ~800 datasets. Users have unrestricted access to the raw codes and analysis results.

Datasets

Spatial Transcriptomics Arena offers simulated datasets, synthetic datasets and datasets from real studies. A wide-range of datasets provides the opportunities to evaluate the existing and novel association methods from multiple perspectives - from different human diseases to different ecological conditions.

Reproducibility

Documented data resources and analysis routines enables reproducible results – a critical type of research for modern medical and statistical research. Spatial Transcriptomics Arena provide R codes with datasets, methods and analysis results. Users can freely download the data, code and reproduce analysis results in their own computation environments.
