SSAM-lite test data

Spatially resolved transcriptomics datasets prepared from different publications to be used as sample data sets for the SSAM-lite tool. Each folder contains a dataset including: one (or more) files for mRNA locations, formatted as a comma separated file adhering to the DecodedSpots format defined by the Starfish pipeline (https://spacetx-starfish.readthedocs.io/en/mcai-api-additions/help_and_reference/spacetx-format/output_formats/DecodedSpots/index.html). This format is intuitive, with fields for the target mRNA, the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate. a gene signature file, containing expected mRNA expression profiles for cell types, formatted as a comma separated file with rows as cell types, columns as genes, with the matrix populated with numerical or binary values associating mRNA expression to cell types. and a README referencing the original publication the data was retrieved from as well as some datset specifications.
