How to choose ROI loading options

Concept

Use Current-Level Loading when:

  • The ROI covers a large tissue area.
  • You are still exploring and may change the ROI boundaries.
  • You want to avoid browser memory warnings or crashes.

Use Full ROI Loading when:

  • The ROI is small and focused.
  • You need the complete raw pixel/transcript data for export.
  • You are running a comparison or differential expression analysis that requires full counts.

Tip

When in doubt, start with Current-Level Loading. - You can change the loading option from current-level loading to full roi loading later. - Also, you can reload an existing ROI by re-creating it or by using the Load Existing ROI guide to re-import it with a different option.
