Bioc currentSave and Load Spatial 'Omics Data to/from File
Release Lineage
Entered 3.17 · Apr 26, 2023
Current · Requires R 4.6
Description
Save SpatialExperiment objects and their images into file artifacts, and load them back into memory. This is a more portable alternative to serialization of such objects into RDS files. Each artifact is associated with metadata for further interpretation; downstream applications can enrich this metadata with context-specific properties.
