Default branch change!
With the release of
v3.3.0 the
default branch of Giotto has been moved from
@master to
@suite. If you want to
install the original master version use
devtools::install_github("drieslab/Giotto@master"). Visit the Giotto
Discussions page for
more information.
Github Repository changes!
The Giotto github repository has moved to
https://github.com/drieslab/Giotto and the associated spatial datasets
have been moved to https://github.com/drieslab/spatial-datasets.
Website change!
We have created a new readthedocs
website to further
improve and simplify Giotto documentation and to make it easier to use
Giotto. It aggregates information from both the original Giotto package
and our extended Giotto Suite, which is our extended work-in-development
version.
- www.spatialgiotto.com links to the original master version. The old master pkgdown documentation can still be found at https://rubd.github.io/Giotto_site/
- www.giottosuite.com links to the extended suite version. The old suite pkgdown documentation can still be found at https://drieslab.github.io/Giotto_site_suite/
Giotto Suite is a major upgrade to the Giotto package that provides tools to process, analyze and visualize spatial multi-omics data at all scales and multiple resolutions. The underlying framework is generalizable to virtually all current and emerging spatial technologies. Our Giotto Suite prototype pipeline is generally applicable on various different datasets, such as those created by state-of-the-art spatial technologies, including in situ hybridization (seqFISH+, merFISH, osmFISH, CosMx), sequencing (Slide-seq, Visium, STARmap, Seq-Scope, Stereo-Seq) and imaging-based multiplexing/proteomics (CyCIF, MIBI, CODEX). These technologies differ in terms of resolution (subcellular, single cell or multiple cells), spatial dimension (2D vs 3D), molecular modality (protein, RNA, DNA, …), and throughput (number of cells and analytes).
The package is in heavy development. Please check back often!
