Cell components
Proportion of each cell type
SINGLE CELL
CELL TYPE
Simple statistics on the proportion of different cell types
Cell density
Density of different of different cells
SINGLE CELL
CELL TYPE
Simple statistics on the density of different cell types
Cell distribution
Distribution pattern for each cell type
SINGLE CELL
CELL TYPE
1) Random
2) Cluster: Cells are aggregated together
3) Evenly distributed: This is very common to see
Find neighbors
Get to know the neighbors for each cells
You can know whether two cells are neighbors to each other, in the visualization, two cell will be linked if they are neighbors
Cell-Cell interaction
Check if two type of cell tend to stick together
SINGLE CELL
CELL TYPE
NEIGHBORS
Spatial entropy
Evaluation of the tissue heterogeneity with spatial factor
SINGLE CELL
CELL TYPE
Useful to evaluate the heterogeneity within a tissue
Spatial auto-correlation
Correlation between expression and nearby spatial location
NEIGHBORS
Value close to -1 and is significant indicate negative spatial auto-correlation and vice versa.
Spatial variable gene
Whether the gene expression is dependent on spatial location
NEIGHBORS
If a gene is spatial variable, it suggest that spatial factor has certain influence on it's expression
