About SpatiaBio

Practical spatial transcriptomics tutorials for researchers who want to actually use the tools.

What This Blog Is

SpatiaBio is a tutorial-focused blog covering spatial transcriptomics analysis - from raw Visium data to publication-ready figures. Every post is built around working code, real datasets, and the kind of practical decisions that don't appear in papers.

Topics include Squidpy, cell2location, Tangram, SpatialDE2, Xenium vs Visium comparisons, spatial multi-omics integration, and more. Posts are written for researchers who are already comfortable with Python and scRNA-seq but are new to the spatial layer.

Who Writes It

No name, no lab, no company logo. A few standing rules instead:

• Every notebook we publish is actually re-executed end to end before it's called "done" — not just written and assumed to work
• When a library breaks between versions, we document the exact error and the fix that worked, instead of quietly patching around it
• Platform and tool comparisons get checked against current spec sheets and docs, not vendor marketing pages

Individual posts and packs will say exactly what was checked and how — that detail lives with the content it's about, not here. If something's wrong anywhere on this site, say so — it'll get fixed and credited, not defended.
