Vitessce
Vitessce is a visual integration tool for exploration of spatial single-cell experiments.
Overview:
The Visual Integration Tool for Exploration of Spatial Single-Cell Experiments, or Vitessce, is a versatile tool designed to enable interactive visual analysis of multi-modal assay types that probe biological systems using WebGL technology. It allows visualization of large datasets stored in cloud object storage without the need for managing compute infrastructure. Vitessce can be integrated into React projects and offers a range of interactive views such as scatterplots, spatial+imaging plots, genome browser tracks, and statistical plots.
Features:
- Reusable Interactive Views: Including scatterplot, spatial+imaging plot, genome browser tracks, and control views.
- Integrative Multi-Modal Assay Analysis: Supports various assay types such as microscopy, genomics, and transcriptomics.
- Serverless Visualization: Ability to visualize large datasets stored in cloud object stores like AWS S3.
- Easy Integration: Can be seamlessly integrated into React projects.
- Development Support: Offers detailed guidelines for installation and development processes.
- Version Control: Utilizes changesets for managing changelogs and follows specific branch naming conventions for consistency.
- Testing and Deployment: Provides tools for testing, linting, and troubleshooting, along with deployment scripts for staging and publishing sites.
Summary:
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- Vite
Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- SCSS
SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
