A tool for segmenting/integrating sub-cellular spots in high-resolution spatial transcriptomics into single-cellular spots and cell-type mapping leveraging paired scRNA-seq.

Requirements

It could be simply installed by pip install pydetach.

For conda users,

conda create -n detach python=3.12 -y
conda activate detach
pip install pydetach

For python3 users, first make sure your python is of version 3.12, and then in your working directory,

python -m venv detach
source detach/bin/activate
python -m pip install pydetach

To use it for downstream analysis in combination with Squidpy, it is recommended to use a seperate virtual environment to install Squidpy.

Usage

(Updated in 2025.11.27)

DeTACH now is packed as a commandline tool:

See help:

If you are interested in using pydetach as a python package, we recommend using pydetach.recipe module. See docstring therein.
