SCIMAP 2.0.0

Spatial Single-Cell Analysis Toolkit

Single-Cell Image Analysis Package

Scimap is a scalable toolkit for analyzing spatial molecular data. The underlying framework is generalizable to spatial datasets mapped to XY coordinates. The package uses the anndata framework making it easy to integrate with other popular single-cell analysis toolkits. It includes preprocessing, phenotyping, visualization, clustering, spatial analysis and differential spatial testing. The Python-based implementation efficiently deals with large datasets of millions of cells.

Installation

We strongly recommend installing scimap in a fresh virtual environment.

# If you have conda installed
conda create --name scimap python=3.10
conda activate scimap

Install scimap directly into an activated virtual environment:

$ pip install scimap

After installation, the package can be imported as:

$ python
>>> import scimap as sm
