Welcome to the `spatialLIBD` project! It is composed by a [shiny](https://shiny.rstudio.com/) web application at [jhubiostatistics.shinyapps.io/spatialLIBD/](https://jhubiostatistics.shinyapps.io/spatialLIBD/), a Bioconductor package at [bioconductor.org/packages/spatialLIBD](http://bioconductor.org/packages/spatialLIBD) (or from [here](http://research.libd.org/spatialLIBD/)), and a [research article](https://www.biorxiv.org/search/maynard%252Bcollado%252Bweber%252Bhicks%252Bmartinowich%252Bjaffe) with the scientific knowledge we drew from this dataset.

The web application allows you to browse the LIBD human dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex (DLPFC) spatial transcriptomics data generated with the 10x Genomics Visium platform. Through the [R/Bioconductor package](https://bioconductor.org/packages/spatialLIBD) you can also download the data as well as visualize your own datasets using this web application. Please check the [bioRxiv pre-print](https://www.biorxiv.org/search/maynard%252Bcollado%252Bweber%252Bhicks%252Bmartinowich%252Bjaffe) for more details about this project.

## Study design

As a quick overview, the data presented here is from portion of the DLPFC that spans six neuronal layers plus white matter (**A**) for a total of three subjects with two pairs of spatially adjacent replicates (**B**). Each dissection of DLPFC was designed to span all six layers plus white matter (**C**). Using this web application you can explore the expression of known genes such as _SNAP25_ (**D**, a neuronal gene), _MOBP_ (**E**, an oligodendrocyte gene), and known layer markers from mouse studies such as _PCP4_ (**F**, a known layer 5 marker gene).
This web application was built such that we could annotate the spots to layers as you can see under the **spot-level data** tab. Once we annotated each spot to a layer, we compressed the information by a pseudo-bulking approach into **layer-level data**. We then analyzed the expression through a set of models whose results you can also explore through this web application. Finally, you can upload your own gene sets of interest as well as layer enrichment statistics and compare them with our LIBD Human DLPFC Visium dataset.
