Description
Banksy is an R package that incorporates spatial information to cluster cells in a feature space (e.g. gene expression). To incorporate spatial information, BANKSY computes the mean neighborhood expression and azimuthal Gabor filters that capture gene expression gradients. These features are combined with the cell's own expression to embed cells in a neighbor-augmented product space which can then be clustered, allowing for accurate and spatially-aware cell typing and tissue domain segmentation.
