Kasumi is a method for the identification of spatially localized neighborhoods of intra- and intercellular relationships, persistent across samples and conditions. Kasumi learns compressed explainable representations of spatial omics samples while preserving relevant biological signals that are readily deployable for data exploration and hypothesis generation, facilitating translational tasks.

kasumi requires a standard configuration and enough RAM to store the analyzed dataset and to support in-memory operations.

The package requires R version 4.1 or higher. This package is developed on macOS Sonoma. The package is compatible with Linux and maxOS operating systems and should be compatible with Windows.

You can install the latest version from GitHub with remotes:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("jtanevski/kasumi")

kasumi currently depends on mistyR version 1.99.10 or higher. You can install the latest version from GitHub:

remotes::install_github("jtanevski/mistyR")
