novae 0.1.0

Graph-based foundation model for spatial transcriptomics data

💫 Graph-based foundation model for spatial transcriptomics data

Novae is a deep learning model for spatial domain assignments of spatial transcriptomics data (at both single-cell or spot resolution). It works across multiple gene panels, tissues, and technologies. Novae offers several additional features, including: (i) native batch-effect correction, (ii) analysis of spatially variable genes and pathways, and (iii) architecture analysis of tissue slides.

Documentation

Check Novae's documentation to get started. It contains installation explanations, API details, and tutorials.

Overview

(a) Novae was trained on a large dataset, and is shared on Hugging Face Hub. (b) Illustration of the main tasks and properties of Novae. (c) Illustration of the method behing Novae (self-supervision on graphs, adapted from SwAV).

Installation

PyPI

novae can be installed via PyPI on all OS, for python>=3.9.
