# alabaster.sfe <!-- badges: start --> [](https://app.codecov.io/gh/pachterlab/alabaster.sfe) [](https://github.com/pachterlab/alabaster.sfe/actions/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml) <!-- badges: end --> The goal of alabaster.sfe is to implement a language agnostic format to represent `SpatialFeatureExperiment` on disk, as in the [existing `alabaster` packages](https://github.com/orgs/ArtifactDB/repositories) from ArtifactDB. This serves to formalize and standardize the files written to disk when SFE reformats smFISH transcript spots and to improve interoperability between the R and Python implementations of Voyager. ## Installation You can install the development version of alabaster.sfe from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with: ``` r # install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("pachterlab/alabaster.sfe") ``` This package has been submitted to Bioconductor and is under review
