### A cell-cell communication inference approach for spatially resolved transcriptomic data
<img src='https://github.com/ZJUFanLab/SpaTalk/blob/main/img/SpaTalk.svg'>

[Spatially resolved transcriptomics (ST)]() provides the informative details of genes and retained the crucial spatial information, which have enabled the uncovering of spatial architecture in intact organs, shedding light on the spatially resolved [cell-cell communications]() mediating tissue homeostasis, development and disease. However, inference of cell-cell communications for ST data remains a great challenge. Here, we present SpaTalk, a spatially resolved cell-cell communication inference method relying on the [graph network]() and [knowledge graph]() to model ligand-receptor-target signaling network between the spatially proximal cells, which were decomposed from the ST data through the non-negative linear model and spatial mapping between single-cell RNA-seq and ST data. SpaTalk is a reliable method that can help scientists uncover the spatially resolved cell-cell communications for either single-cell or spot-based ST data universally, providing new insights into the understanding of spatial cellular dynamics in tissues.

# Usage
SpaTalk method consists of two components, wherein the first is to dissect the cell-type composition of ST data and the second is to infer the spatially resolved cell-cell communications over the decomposed single-cell ST data. Classification and description of SpaTalk functions are shown in the [wiki page]()

SpaTalk uses the ligand-receptor interactions (LRIs) from [`CellTalkDB`](http://tcm.zju.edu.cn/celltalkdb/), pathways from [`KEGG`](https://www.kegg.jp/kegg/pathway.html) and [`Reactome`](https://reactome.org/), and transcrptional factors (TFs) from [`AnimalTFDB`](http://bioinfo.life.hust.edu.cn/AnimalTFDB/#!/) by default. In the current version:

- __SpaTalk can be applied to either [single-cell (vignette)]() or [spot-based (vignette)]() ST data__
- __SpaTalk allows to use custom [LRIs](), [pathways, and TFs database (vignette)]()__
