Example transcriptomics dataset

MERFISH mouse liver spatial transcriptomics dataset, downloaded from (accessed 1/10/2024): https://info.vizgen.com/mouse-liver-data

Parameters:

• output (str | Path | None (default: None)) – The path where the resulting SpatialData object will be backed. If None, it will not be backed to a zarr store. Note that setting output to None will persist the transcripts in memory. We recommend specifying output.

• path (str | Path | None (default: None)) – If None, the example data will be downloaded into the default cache directory for your OS. Provide a custom path to change this behavior.

• transcripts (bool (default: True)) – Whether to read transcripts.
