Hello All,

I was wondering if there is any effort to port some of the squidpy tools (e.g. segmentation) to R.

For example as Velociraptor R package does for scvelo.

Thanks a lot.  
Stefano

Hi @stemangiola, no we don’t plan to port squidpy functionalities to R, I mean segmentation itself is not done with squidpy, maybe the authors of the segmentation packages would be up for it, but i don’t really see a good reason to do that.
