HTAN supports several spatial sequencing modalities. Modalities supported are growing as new data are generated.
Spatial transcriptomic sequencing data are divided into four primary levels coupled with an auxiliary set of files used in or generated by processing workflows for spatial transcriptomics:
Level | Definition | Example Data |
---|---|---|
1 | Raw sequencing data | FASTQs |
2 | Aligned primary data | Aligned BAMs |
3 | Derived biomolecular data mapped to image positions | Barcodes, features, filtered and unfiltered matrices |
4 | In progress | TBD |
Auxiliary | Additional data such as imaging, qc, and json scale factors | TIFF, JPG, PNG, JSON, HTML, etc |
