# SpaceTrooper SpaceTrooper is a R/Bioconductor package for the preprocessing and quality control of imaging-based spatial transcriptomics and proteomics data. <p align="center"> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drighelli/SpaceTrooper/main/inst/SpaceTrooper_logo.png" alt="SpaceTrooper Logo" width="200"/> </p> The package is in Bioconductor since version 3.22, and it can be installed by aid of the `BiocManager` package, if you are using the proper Bioconductor version (3.22). Please install the latest stable version of the package package with `BiocManager::install("SpaceTrooper)` # Installing via Github ## Requirements On the other hand, if you want to install the package from Github, it could be unstable and R version must be at least 4.4.0. We always suggest to use the latest version of the package present on the official Release of Bioconductor. `BiocManager::install("drighelli/SpaceTrooper", ref="devel")` If you were able to install the package correctly, CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🎉🎉🎉 # Introduction to the package We provide three additional vignettes for the package usage, first one is focused on imaging-based Spatial Transcriptomics technologies. The second one is focused on CosMx protein technologies. The third one is to describe how to switch from an already-loaded dataset with SpatialExperimentIO package and then upload the object to work with SpaceTrooper. See the compiled version of the vignettes in the [official Bioconductor landing page](https://bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc/html/SpaceTrooper.html) or visit the [Vignette folder](https://github.com/drighelli/SpaceTrooper/tree/main/vignettes). # Issues Please report any issue on GH [here](https://github.com/drighelli/SpaceTrooper/issues)! Thanks for checking out!🌸
