xenLite

xenLite defines a relatively light class for managing Xenium data using Bioconductor.

Key Features:

• Parquet integration: Uses parquet for coordinate management.
• SpatialExperiment compatibility: Uses SpatialExperiment for assay and sample data.
• Serialization support: Addresses serialization for data management.
• Cloud storage: Supports use of cloud storage.

Scientific Applications:

• Xenium data management: Provides simple classes and methods for managing Xenium datasets in Bioconductor workflows.

Methodology:

Defines lightweight classes for Xenium data; uses parquet for coordinates and SpatialExperiment for assay and sample data.
