BANKSY is a spatial omics clustering algorithm that unifies spatial cell type clustering and domain segmentation into a single scalable framework. It does this by utilizing the spatial microenvironment to augment the transcriptomes of cells, allowing for the discovery of niche-dependent cell subtypes, more accurate clustering, and the identification of zones of coherent gene expression.
The tool BANKSY is freely available for academic purposes. Commercial usage requires a license.
The package is available in R and in Python. R or Python installation on laptop or moderately sized computer is possible.https://github.com/prabhakarlab/Banksyhttps://github.com/prabhakarlab/Banksy_py
