CORAL Toolkit Streamlines Spatial Proteomics Data Analysis
CORAL is a spatial biology toolkit designed to simplify the analysis of spatial proteomics data. It integrates foundation models (FMs) pretrained on diverse datasets to facilitate the processing of complex biological data. CORAL supports spatial proteomics techniques like multiplexed antibody imaging and is expanding to include spatial transcriptomics. The toolkit automates the workflow from raw tissue slides to biological insights, allowing researchers to focus on cell types, spatial neighborhoods, and patient outcomes. CORAL's file structure, based on the OME-Zarr format, enables efficient data handling and analysis, making it a valuable tool for researchers in the field of spatial biology.
