Example Inputs for PIPEFISH Spatial Transcriptomics Pipeline Tool

This repository contains example input data, including raw images, codebooks,  parameters, and segmentation labels needed to run the FISH spatial transcriptomics pipeline tool PIPEFISH. The datasets contained are:

• in situ sequencing (ISS) of a whole coronal slice of a mouse brain (50 genes). Link to publication.
