SpatialData is a data framework that comprises a FAIR storage format and a collection of python libraries for performant access, alignment, and processing of uni- and multi-modal spatial omics datasets. This repository contains the core spatialdata library. See the links below to learn more about other packages in the SpatialData ecosystem.
The spatialdata project uses a consensus based governance model and is fiscally sponsored by NumFOCUS. Consider making a tax-deductible donation to help the project pay for developer time, professional services, travel, workshops, and a variety of other needs.
The spatialdata project also received support by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
Please refer to the documentation. In particular:
Another useful resource to get started is the source code of the spatialdata-io
package, which shows example of how to read data from common technologies.
Check out the docs for more complete installation instructions. To get started with the "batteries included" installation, you can install via pip:
pip install "spatialdata[extra]"
or via conda:
mamba install -c conda-forge spatialdata napari-spatialdata spatialdata-io spatialdata-plot
