A Web-based Software Resource for Interactive Analysis of Multiplex Tissue Imaging Datasets

Abstract Highly multiplexed tissue imaging (MTI) are powerful spatial proteomics technologies that enable in situ single-cell characterization of tissues. However, analysis and visualization of MTI datasets remains challenging, and we developed the Galaxy-ME software hub to address this challenge.Galaxy-ME is a web-based, interactive software hub that enables end-to-end analysis and visualization of MTI datasets and is accessible to everyone. To demonstrate its utility, Galaxy-ME was used to analyze datasets obtained from multiple MTI assays and evaluate assay concordance in both normal and cancerous tissues. Galaxy-ME is a publicly available web resource.
