TANGRAM

Tangram is a Python package, written in PyTorch and based on scanpy , for mapping single-cell (or single-nucleus) gene expression data onto spatial gene expression data. The single-cell dataset and the spatial dataset should be collected from the same anatomical region/tissue type, ideally from a biological replicate, and need to share a set of genes. Tangram aligns the single-cell data in space by fitting gene expression on the shared genes. The best way to familiarize yourself with Tangram is to check out our tutorials.

Tangram News

  • On Jan 28th 2021, Sten Linnarsson gave a talk at the WWNDev Forum and demostrated their mappings of the developmental mouse brain using Tangram.

  • On Mar 9th 2021, Nicholas Eagles wrote a blog post about applying Tangram on Visium data.

  • The Tangram method has been used by our colleagues at Harvard and Broad Institute, to map cell types for the developmental mouse brain -see Fig. 2 [`Nature(2021)<https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03670-5>`_]

  • Tangram is now officially a part of Squidpy
