input data of dataset.Dataset()

[Bo-UT]

Hi,

I am new to spatial transcriptomic analysis. I have AnnData from 10x Xenium. Could you please let me know how to generate the input data for dataset.Dataset()?
Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in FISHscale. You should format your data like this .parquet file: https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/EEL_mouse_sagittal_440_gene_RNA_spatial_data/20324820?file=37548382

Probably easiest is to convert your AnnData file to a Pandas Dataframe. This dataframe should contain the XY or XYZ locations of all molecules and their gene label. So, make a dataframe with the columns: 'g' for gene labels, 'x' for X coordinates and 'y' for Y coordinates. Then save this dataframe as .parquet using" df.to_parquet(filename.parquet), wheredf is your dataframe.

Then you can give FISHscale the path to this file and the column names like so:

from FISHscale.utils import dataset
d = dataset.Dataset('filename.parquet',
                     x_label = 'x',
                     y_label = 'y',                
                     gene_label = 'g',
                     pixel_size = '1 micrometer', #Change this to the unit of the Xenium data.
