NicheDECODE workflow for inference of spatial niche abundances from tissue-level omics data v1

This protocol describes the NicheDECODE workflow for estimating spatial niche abundances from tissue-level omics data using an annotated spatial reference. It covers environment setup, data preparation, pseudo-tissue generation, integration of spatial and functional features, model training, and niche-abundance prediction. Code, example notebooks and input data are provided through the accompanying GitHub repository and Zenodo archives.

Abstract

This protocol describes the NicheDECODE workflow for estimating spatial niche abundances from tissue-level omics data using an annotated spatial reference. It covers environment setup, data preparation, pseudo-tissue generation, integration of spatial and functional features, model training, and niche-abundance prediction. Code, example notebooks and input data are provided through the accompanying GitHub repository and Zenodo archives.
