Introduction

gsMap (genetically informed spatial mapping of cells for complex traits) integrates spatial transcriptomics (ST) data with genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics to map cells to human complex traits, including diseases, in a spatially resolved manner.

Key Features

• Spatially-aware High-Resolution Trait Mapping
• Spatial Region Identification
• Putative Causal Genes Identification

Installation

Install using pip:

conda create -n gsMap python>3.8
conda activate gsMap
pip install gsMap

Install from source:

git clone https://github.com/LeonSong1995/gsMap.git
cd gsMap
pip install -e .

Verify the installation by running the following command:

gsmap --help

Usage

Please check out the documentation and tutorials at gsMap Documentation.

Online Visualization
