📦 My new R package {spatialData} is on CRAN! 🎉

Ecological datasets as sf data frames and their companion raster data ready for analysis and modeling.

Built as example data for R packages, but great for teaching too!

Thanks to input from @helucro.bsky.social, Daria Lazic, Hugo Gruson, Artür Manukyan and many others, there is now a whole new level of maturity and ease-of-use for spatial omics data, see helenalc.github.io/SpatialData....

Recently, we held the first #scverse SpatialData 3-day hackathon in Basel (Switzerland), where we brought together 20 developers from the Python, R, and web communities to work on interoperability, performance, and ergonomics for spatial omics data. Here is what we worked on!

... cross-language analysis pipelines possible based on the common SpatialData Zarr format. We are still early stage, but now you can start plotting SpatialData objects with ggplot, or use the spatialdata-io readers from R.

It’s been a real fun (& productive) event, as well as a great demo of how R/Bioc and Python/scverse communities can come together to pursuit mutually beneficial (vs. redundant/diverging) efforts. — Thanks @scverse.bsky.social & all of the SpatialData team for having us!

Have you ever needed to spatialize genetic distances without relying on models like niche modeling? I built #Phylin a few years ago, an R package for that! The original purpose was to produce #spatialdata bringing #evolutionary insights into conservation prioritization. 🌍🧬
