Incorporating the precise spatial mapping of gene activity advances our understanding of intact tissuespecific biological processes. In order to interpret these novel spatial data types, interactive visualization tools are necessary.Results We describe spatialLIBD, an R/Bioconductor package to interactively explore spatially-resolved transcriptomics data generated with the 10x Genomics Visium platform. The package contains functions to interactively access, visualize, and inspect the observed spatial gene expression data and data-driven clusters identified with supervised or unsupervised analyses, either on the user’s computer or through a web application.Availability spatialLIBD is available at bioconductor.org/packages/spatialLIBD.Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
