Bioconductor Spatial Data and Image Analysis Hackathon
Résumé fourni par la source
We report the outcomes of the Bioconductor Spatial Data and Image Analysis Hackathon, held in Venice, Italy in April 2026. Twenty-seven researchers and software developers organized into four teams to advance R/Bioconductor capabilities for spatial omics and image analysis. Outputs include scalable raster–polygon workflows for whole-slide pathology, an R package for running spatial foundation models via reticulate/basilisk, a spatially stratified differential expression framework, and substantial enhancements to the R `SpatialData` infrastructure for interoperability with the Python `spatialdata` ecosystem. All software is openly available and under active development.
