SpotSweeper

Spatially-aware quality control for spatial transcriptomics

Bioconductor version: 3.23 · Package version: 1.8.0

Spatially-aware quality control (QC) software for both spot-level and artifact-level QC in spot-based spatial transcripomics, such as 10x Visium. These methods calculate local (nearest-neighbors) mean and variance of standard QC metrics (library size, unique genes, and mitochondrial percentage) to identify outliers spot and large technical artifacts.
