“From geospatial to spatial -omics with SpatialFeatureExperiment and Voyager”; https://partners.zoom.us/j/82826415806; To bring more of the geospatial tradition to spatial -omics, we developed SpatialFeatureExperiment (SFE), which extends the existing Bioconductor data structures SingleCellExperiment (SCE) and SpatialExperiment (SPE) with Simple Features to represent the geometries of Visium spots and cell segmentation and perform geometric operations. We developed the Voyager package that performs exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) on SFE objects.

“Inferring selection effects in SARS-CoV-2 with Bayesian Viral Allele Selection,” https://partners.zoom.us/j/86162386947; We develop Bayesian Viral Allele Selection (BVAS), a method that leverages the millions of SARS-CoV-2 viral genomes that have been sequenced across the globe to identify mutations linked to increased viral fitness.
