FOCUS: end-to-end preprocessing, alignment and resolution-matched integration of spatial multi-omics data

Integrating spatial multi-omics data requires coordinated preprocessing, cross-modality alignment and feature registration across modalities that differ in file format, coordinate system and spatial resolution. No existing tool addresses this pipeline end-to-end from raw experimental files till aligned data object. We present FOCUS, an open-source Python package that takes raw data from spatial…
