NicheSphere is an sc-verse compatible Python library which allows the user to find differential co-localization domains / niches based on cell type pair co-localization probabilities in different conditions. Cell type pair co-localization probabilities can be obtained in different ways, for example, through deconvolution of spatial transcriptomics / PIC-seq data (getting the probabilities of finding each cell type in each spot / multiplet) ; or counting nearest neighbors of each type for each cell in single cell spatial data like MERFISH or CODEX.
