Hi,

@haesleinhuepf.bsky.social

for image registration purposes I need to select matching landmarks from images.
Are you aware of a jupyter widget that can help with that?
I don't want to download all my images from my HPC.

Hi @jef.works
there is interest in showcasing STalign in a big spatial tutorial.
However the current requirements.txt make it difficult to include.

Could you take a look at

Do you (like me) create a bunch of conda environments, then later forget what they're for, when they were last updated, or which tools are in them?

If so, you might this little project: github.com/rrwick/conda...

Reminder that @europepmc.org is a mirror of Pubmed with better search and that it indexes *all* bioRxiv preprints (as well as ResearchSquare), not just the ones funded by NIH like chauvinist Pubmed
I’m very scared to see what happens to PubMed

Hi,
@brukerspatial.bsky.social

In www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You presented a dataset with 980 RNAs and 108 proteins.

But on staging.nanostring.com/products/cos... I only find the RNA and a couple of protein markers for QC and segmentation.

Where can I find the rest of the protein data?
Ty!

Excited to share a new algorithm that we have been working on over the last year.

💡 idea is to extend mutual nearest neighbors for
#spatial data. We call it spatial mutual nearest neighbors (spatialMNN) 😄

Thank you @haowen-zhou.bsky.social @pratibha-panwar.bsky.social who led this work! 👏 🧬🖥️🧪

New method for identifying spatially variable genes in spatial transcriptomics.

We use spectral graph theory to extract 1D curves related to tissue morphology, creating a more relevant coordinate system. Improves sensitivity.

I have a YouTube playlist (10 videos) for #MolecularBiology for my undergrad interns in the lab.

I usually have my interns watch these videos to get introduced to the basic concepts before I go show them how to in the lab.
