Exploring the Landscape of Spatial Transcriptome Analysis: Introducing STASH, a Database of Spatial Transcriptome Tools

Abstract

AbstractSpatial transcriptomics (ST) has emerged as a powerful tool for unravelling tissue structure and function. However, the continuous development of ST has made it challenging to select and effectively use appropriate analysis tools. To address this issue, we have developed the Spatial Transcriptome Analysis Hub (STASH,http://cailab.labshare.cn:7004), a comprehensive, systematic, and user-friendly database of ST analysis tools. STASH collects and categorizes most of the tools currently available and provides insight into their current status and trends. This can help researchers quickly locate the appropriate tool for their needs, or even guide researchers in the development of better tools.
