tidySpatialExperiment

This is the development version of tidySpatialExperiment; for the stable release version, see tidySpatialExperiment.

SpatialExperiment with tidy principles


Bioconductor version: Development (3.24)

tidySpatialExperiment provides a bridge between the SpatialExperiment package and the tidyverse ecosystem. It creates an invisible layer that allows you to interact with a SpatialExperiment object as if it were a tibble; enabling the use of functions from dplyr, tidyr, ggplot2 and plotly. But, underneath, your data remains a SpatialExperiment object.
