Checks: 2 0

Knit directory: CosMx_pipeline_LGA/

This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.1). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version 51b3104. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.

Welcome to my Master’s thesis webpage! 😀

My name is Lidia Getino Álvarez and this webpage summarizes the final project of my Master’s in Bioinformatics and Biostatistics at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya: “Implementation of a bioinformatics pipeline for the analysis of spatial transcriptomics data”.

University: Universitat Oberta de Catalunya

Tutor: Mireia Ferrer Almirall

Developed at: Statistics and Bioinformatics Unit (Vall d’Hebron Research Institute - VHIR)

Date: 04-06-2025


The main goal of my project was to construct a well documented and reproducible pipeline for the analysis of spatial transcriptomic data, specifically from the CosMx™ SMI technology by Nanostring® Technologies.

This website, and its corresponding GitHub repository, serves the purpose of transparently sharing all the code and results of my work. Here you will find:

  1. CosMx™ SMI Data Analysis Pipeline

  2. Examples of different normalization methods

  3. Examples of different cell typing methods

Hopefully, soon my thesis document will be available too, as reference for a more profound insight on my work. For now, I hope what you find here is useful and interesting!


A workflowr project.
