GraphExperiment provides users and developers with an S4 class that extends `SingleCellExperiment` by offering infrastructure to store and retrieve networks (`igraph` objects) representing how assay features and/or observations are associated with each other. The class was designed to store networks inferred from high-dimensional quantitative data, with feature-feature networks including gene coexpression networks (GCNs), gene regulatory networks (GRNs), and co-abundance networks (from proteomics and metabolomics), and observation-observation network including cell-cell distances, species-species relationships, and sample-sample similarities.

Provides methods to convert between Python AnnData objects and SingleCellExperiment objects. These are primarily intended for use by downstream Bioconductor packages that wrap Python methods for single-cell data analysis. It also includes functions to read and write H5AD files used for saving AnnData objects to disk.

Defines an S4 class for storing data from spatial -omics experiments. The class extends SingleCellExperiment to support storage and retrieval of additional information from spot-based and molecule-based platforms, including spatial coordinates, images, and image metadata. A specialized constructor function is included for data from the 10x Genomics Visium platform.

'tidySingleCellExperiment' is an adapter that abstracts the 'SingleCellExperiment' container in the form of a 'tibble'. This allows *tidy* data manipulation, nesting, and plotting. For example, a 'tidySingleCellExperiment' is directly compatible with functions from 'tidyverse' packages `dplyr` and `tidyr`, as well as plotting with `ggplot2` and `plotly`. In addition, the package provides various utility functions specific to single-cell omics data analysis (e.g., aggregation of cell-level data to pseudobulks).

systemPipeShiny (SPS) extends the widely used systemPipeR (SPR) workflow environment with a versatile graphical user interface provided by a Shiny App. This allows non-R users, such as experimentalists, to run many systemPipeR’s workflow designs, control, and visualization functionalities interactively without requiring knowledge of R. Most importantly, SPS has been designed as a general purpose framework for interacting with other R packages in an intuitive manner. Like most Shiny Apps, SPS can be used on both local computers as well as centralized server-based deployments that can be accessed remotely as a public web service for using SPR’s functionalities with community and/or private data. The framework can integrate many core packages from the R/Bioconductor ecosystem. Examples of SPS’ current functionalities include: (a) interactive creation of experimental designs and metadata using an easy to use tabular editor or file uploader; (b) visualization of workflow topologies combined with auto-generation of R Markdown preview for interactively designed workflows; (d) access to a wide range of data processing routines; (e) and an extendable set of visualization functionalities. Complex visual results can be managed on a 'Canvas Workbench’ allowing users to organize and to compare plots in an efficient manner combined with a session snapshot feature to continue work at a later time. The present suite of pre-configured visualization examples. The modular design of SPR makes it easy to design custom functions without any knowledge of Shiny, as well as extending the environment in the future with contributions from the community.

Read in imaging-based spatial transcriptomics technology data. Current available modules are for Xenium by 10X Genomics, CosMx by Nanostring, MERSCOPE by Vizgen, or STARmapPLUS from Broad Institute. You can choose to read the data in as a SpatialExperiment or a SingleCellExperiment object.
