Luca Marconato @lucamarconato.bsky.social · 15/04/2025The @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social Cell Science Meeting in Chicago just concluded. I had the opportunity to present the latest advancements in spatial omics within the #scverse ecosystem, highlighting our efforts to scale our infrastructure in preparation for the datasets of tomorrow. 0231
Luca Marconato @lucamarconato.bsky.social · 26/03/2025If you work with Xenium data segmentation, you may want to check out Segger! Segger provides accurate and scalable segmentation for IIS and FISH-based spatial omics datasets, using a novel heterogenous GNN approach.
