# OpenPipeline Spatial
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Extensible spatial single cell analysis pipelines for reproducible and large-scale spatial single cell processing using Viash and Nextflow.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OpenPipeline Spatial extends the [OpenPipeline](https://github.com/openpipelines-bio/openpipeline/) ecosystem with specialized workflows and components for spatial transcriptomics analysis. It provides standardized, reproducible pipelines that are technology-agnostic and can be used for processing spatial omics data from various technologies and platforms.

## Functionality
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OpenPipeline Spatial executes a list of predefined tasks specifically designed for spatial omics data. These discrete steps are also provided as standalone components that can be executed individually with a standardized interface.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The following spatial-specific workflows are provided:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- [Ingestion](https://www.viash-hub.com/packages/openpipeline_spatial/latest/components?search=mapping): Whereas many technologies generate count matrices on-instrument, functionality is provided for the mapping & quantification of 10X Visum data.
|
|||
|
|
- [Interoperability](https://www.viash-hub.com/packages/openpipeline_spatial/latest/components?search=convert): To make sure all spatial workflows are technology-agnostic, functionality is provided to convert count matrices from different technologies (e.g. Xenium, CosMx, AtoMx, Aviti) into a common format (H5MU). In addition, functionality is provided to convert between various Spatial data formats (e.g. Seurat, SpatialExperiment, MuData, SpatialData).
|
|||
|
|
- [QC](https://www.viash-hub.com/packages/openpipeline_spatial/latest/components?search=spatial_qc): Calculation of comprehensive quality control metrics.
|
|||
|
|
- [Sample Processing](https://www.viash-hub.com/packages/openpipeline_spatial/latest/components?search=spatial_process_samples): Batch processing of multiple spatial samples, including count-based filtering, normalisation and dimensionality reduction.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Extended functionality
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Whereas this package only provides spatial-specific functionality, it is designed to work seamlessly with the core [OpenPipeline package](https://github.com/openpipelines-bio/openpipeline/). This means that all core OpenPipeline workflows and components can be used in conjunction with the spatial-specific ones. For example, the [**integration**](https://www.viash-hub.com/packages/openpipeline/latest/components?search=workflows%2Fintegration) and [**cell type annotation**](https://www.viash-hub.com/packages/openpipeline/latest/components?search=workflows%2Fannotation) workflows can be applied to spatial data after it has been processed using the spatial-specific workflows.

## Execution via CLI or Seqera Cloud
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The openpipeline_spatial package is available via [Viash
|
|||
|
|
Hub](https://www.viash-hub.com/packages/openpipeline_spatial/latest/), where
|
|||
|
|
you can receive instructions on how to run the end-to-end workflow as
|
|||
|
|
well as individual subworkflows or components.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It’s possible to run the workflow directly from Seqera Cloud. The necessary Nextflow schema files have been [built and provided with the workflows](https://packages.viash-hub.com/vsh/openpipeline_spatial/-/tree/build/main/target/nextflow?ref_type=heads) in order to use the form-based input. However, Seqera Cloud can not deal with multiple-value parameters for batch processing of multiple samples. Therefore, it’s better to use Viash Hub also here for launching the workflow on Seqera Cloud.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Navigate to the [Viash Hub package page](https://www.viash-hub.com/packages/openpipeline_spatial/latest/), select the workflow you want to launch and click the `launch` button.
|
|||
|
|
* Select the execution environment of choice (e.g. `Seqera Cloud`, `CLI` or `Executable`)
|
|||
|
|
* Fill in the form with the required parameters and launch the workflow.
