What is Typical Factor Layer Naming Scheme?¶
Factor Layer Names: Names that describe the analysis method and spatial resolution parameters used to generate the layer.
| Name Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
FICTURE - N factor LDA with Wum hexagons |
A FICTURE analysis result, where N is the total number of factors and W is the hexagon size (in micrometers). |
| cell: Xenium cell segmentation (Xenium Ranger) | A cell-segmentation-based result generated by 10x Genomics Xenium Ranger. |
| cell: Visium HD cell segmentation (Space Ranger) | A cell-segmentation-based result generated by 10x Genomics Space Ranger. |
sqW: Visium HD WxWum square bins (Space Ranger) |
A square-bin-based result generated by Space Ranger, where W is the square bin size (e.g. 2um or 8um). |
What do factor layer names indicate?
These names indicate key attributes of the factor layer:
- Method: Which analysis pipeline (FICTURE, Xenium Ranger, Space Ranger) produced the layer.
- Unit Type: Whether the layer is cell-based, hex-based, or square-bin-based.
- Resolution: The spatial resolution or bin size used during processing.
