A tool for assembling sub-cellular spots in subcellular-resolution spatial transcriptomics into pseudo-single-cell spots and cell-type mapping leveraging paired scRNA-seq, without reliance on imaging information.

Installation

Executable

An executable is available in Release.

PyPI module

It could be simply installed by pip install pydetach (Python version: 3.12).

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

deTACH now is packed as a commandline module:

See help:

$ detach -h

if you've downloaded the executable, or

$ python -m pydetach -h

if you've installed the Python module.

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