Annotated spatial data
Primary Path: Squidpy + Scanpy
Step 1: Load Data
import scanpy as sc
import squidpy as sq
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Load Visium data (Space Ranger output)
adata = sq.read.visium('spaceranger_output/')
# Or load from specific files
adata = sc.read_10x_h5('filtered_feature_bc_matrix.h5')
adata.uns['spatial'] = ... # Add spatial info
# For Xenium
adata = sq.read.xenium('xenium_output/')
print(f'Loaded: {adata.n_obs} spots/cells, {adata.n_vars} genes')
Step 2: Quality Control
# QC metrics
adata.var['mt'] = adata.var_names.str.startswith('MT-')
sc.pp.calculate_qc_metrics(adata, qc_vars=['mt'], inplace=True)
# Visualize QC
fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 3, figsize=(15, 4))
sc.pl.spatial(adata, color='total_counts', ax=axes[0], show=False)
sc.pl.spatial(adata, color='n_genes_by_counts', ax=axes[1], show=False)
sc.pl.spatial(adata, color='pct_counts_mt', ax=axes[2], show=False)
plt.savefig('qc_spatial.pdf')
# Filter
sc.pp.filter_cells(adata, min_counts=500)
sc.pp.filter_cells(adata, min_genes=200)
sc.pp.filter_genes(adata, min_cells=10)
adata = adata[adata.obs.pct_counts_mt < 25, :]
print(f'After QC: {adata.n_obs} spots/cells')
Step 3: Normalization and Clustering
# Store raw counts
adata.layers['counts'] = adata.X.copy()
# Normalize
sc.pp.normalize_total(adata, target_sum=1e4)
sc.pp.log1p(adata)
# HVGs
sc.pp.highly_variable_genes(adata, n_top_genes=2000)
# PCA and clustering
adata.raw = adata
adata = adata[:, adata.var.highly_variable]
sc.pp.scale(adata, max_value=10)
sc.tl.pca(adata, n_comps=50)
sc.pp.neighbors(adata, n_neighbors=15, n_pcs=30)
sc.tl.umap(adata)
sc.tl.leiden(adata, resolution=0.5)
# Visualize clusters in space
sc.pl.spatial(adata, color='leiden', spot_size=1.5)
plt.savefig('clusters_spatial.pdf')
Step 4: Spatial Analysis
# Build spatial neighbors graph
sq.gr.spatial_neighbors(adata, coord_type='generic', n_neighs=6)
# Neighborhood enrichment (which clusters are neighbors)
sq.gr.nhood_enrichment(adata, cluster_key='leiden')
sq.pl.nhood_enrichment(adata, cluster_key='leiden')
plt.savefig('nhood_enrichment.pdf')
# Co-occurrence analysis
sq.gr.co_occurrence(adata, cluster_key='leiden')
sq.pl.co_occurrence(adata, cluster_key='leiden')
plt.savefig('co_occurrence.pdf')
# Spatially variable genes
sq.gr.spatial_autocorr(adata, mode='moran', n_perms=100, n_jobs=4)
# Top spatially variable genes
svg = adata.uns['moranI'].sort_values('I', ascending=False)
top_svg = svg.head(20).index.tolist()
print('Top spatially variable genes:', top_svg[:10])
Step 5: Domain Detection
# Spatial domain detection using clustering with spatial constraints
# Option 1: Use spatial neighbors for Leiden clustering
sq.gr.spatial_neighbors(adata, coord_type='generic', n_neighs=15)
sc.tl.leiden(adata, resolution=0.3, key_added='spatial_domains',
adjacency=adata.obsp['spatial_connectivities'])
# Visualize domains
sc.pl.spatial(adata, color='spatial_domains', spot_size=1.5)
plt.savefig('spatial_domains.pdf')
# Compare transcriptomic vs spatial clusters
sc.pl.spatial(adata, color=['leiden', 'spatial_domains'], ncols=2)
plt.savefig('clusters_comparison.pdf')
Step 6: Visualization
# Gene expression in space
genes = ['EPCAM', 'VIM', 'PTPRC', 'COL1A1']
sc.pl.spatial(adata, color=genes, ncols=2, spot_size=1.5, cmap='viridis')
plt.savefig('marker_genes_spatial.pdf')
# Cluster markers in space
sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(adata, 'leiden', method='wilcoxon')
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups_dotplot(adata, n_genes=5)
plt.savefig('cluster_markers.pdf')
# Save
adata.write('spatial_analyzed.h5ad')
