Spatial transcriptome analysis for placental tissue of preeclampsia

Preeclampsia (PE) is a major pregnancy complication leading to maternal and neonatal mortality. To investigate the spatial gene expression profile of preeclampsia, we performed the Visium FFPE spatial transcriptome analysis.

from sddb import Catalog

cohort = Catalog().collection("geo-gse266604")
cohort.members        # the 2 datasets as a table

print(cohort.licenses())              # check the terms before you download

sdatas = cohort.to_dict()             # {uid: SpatialData}, cached locally
# or keep the .zarr files in a folder of your choice:
# sdatas = cohort.to_dict(dest="data/")
Python · lamindb

Needs pip install lamindb and network access to the Lamin database, which is limited during the alpha. If it fails, use the Client tab.

import lamindb as ln

db = ln.DB("scverse/spatialdata-db")
coll = db.Collection.get(key="geo-gse266604")
coll.ordered_artifacts.to_dataframe()   # the 2 members, ordered

# download every member .zarr to the local cache:
paths = [a.cache() for a in coll.ordered_artifacts.all()]
Shell
# sddb client: download every member .zarr into data/
sddb-cli download --collection geo-gse266604 --dest data/
