Many people hours, calls and messages later: OSTA is now “in (pre)print”, though the real thing lives at bioconductor.org/books/OSTA. Check it out, get in touch. We welcome any feedback, suggestions, wishes (& contributions). It’s been a joy working with you @estellayixingdong.bsky.social!

Orchestrating Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis with Bioconductor https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.20.688607v1

I'm very excited to share our latest preprint! We introduce structure-based analysis of spatial omics data – an approach that focuses on multi-cellular anatomical structures rather than single cells. We also present sosta to facilitate this type of analysis: bioconductor.org/packages/sos...

🚀 Spatial Transcriptomics (Imaging) + Spatial-centric analyses by @helucro.bsky.social : the way to truly interrogate tissues!!! 📖 Read our pre-print on human tonsil architecture (full of tonsiLove ♥️) here: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We are excited to share the publication of our paper on exploratory spatial statistics for spatial omics data academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Update: We greatly revised our paper and renamed it “Harnessing the Potential of Spatial Statistics for Spatial Omics Data with pasta”. We discuss the broad range of exploratory spatial statistics options for spatial Omics technologies and show relevant use cases. arxiv.org/abs/2412.01561

Interested in spatial statistics for spatial omics data? Check out our new resource: pasta. We show how different technologies lead to different data modalities give and overview of point-pattern and lattice-based spatial analysis. Feedback welcome! arxiv.org/abs/2412.01561
