Abstract

Recent technological development in spatial transcriptomics allows researchers to measure gene expression of cells and their spatial locations at the almost single-cell level, which generates detailed biological insight into biological processes. However, specialized spatial transcriptomics databases are rare. Here, we present the Spatial TranscriptOmics DataBase (STOmicsDB), a user-friendly database with multifunctions including search of relevant publications and tools, public dataset visualization, customized specialized databases, new data archive, and online analysis. The current version of STOmicsDB consists of 141 curated spatial transcript datasets covering 12 species, and includes 5,618 spatial multi-omics publications and 674 tools. STOmicsDB is freely accessible at https://db.cngb.org/stomics/.
