Hi Giulia,
This is not a feature we've implemented in semla, but we could absolutely do that. You could also achieve this using Read10X_Image
from Seurat. It will collect image and spot related data and return an object that you can add to the images slot on the Seurat object.

Thank you.
The problem is that I cannot use the output from SpaceRanger as I have used the ST_pipeline to map my reads to a de novo transcriptome assembly to create the count matrix. This is why I used the STutility, as I could specify which count matrix and spotfile to use.
I tried to use the Read10X_Image
but then I couldn't find a way to convert that object into the Seurat @images slot.
I'm pretty sure you can use a transcriptome assembly in Space Ranger too. Unfortunately, we do not provide support for SST pipeline output files. You can check this tutorial showing how to create a Staffli object from scratch.
Here's how you could load and attach a "VisiumV1" object with Seurat and add it to the object:
# Load data from spaceranger output directory containing tissue_lores_image.png
slice <- Seurat::Read10X_Image(image.dir = "path_to_image_dir", filter.matrix = TRUE)
# Assign the assay that you want to. associate the image with
DefaultAssay(slice) <- "Spatial"
# Add slice to Seurat object
se[["slice1"]] <- slice
Hello! I have a Seurat object created with the STutility
InputFromTable
command. The spatial information and images are stored as a Staffli object. I would like to use some of the Seurat command to analyse the data, for instanceFindSpatiallyVariables
. However, this requires the spatial data to be stored in the @images slot of Seurat. How can I convert the STutility/semla Staffli object to the Seurat images slot? I can only find the opposite, from Seurat images to Staffli.Thank you,
Giulia
