Hi everyone,

When analysing MERFISH data in Squidpy, is it possible to color cells based on their quantified expression of an individual gene similar to using `ImageFeaturePlot()` in Seurat ?

Thanks,

Will

hi @wdg118 unfortunately not yet, but we will support it in the future. I’d suggest to check out [GitHub - ckmah/bento-tools: A Python toolkit for subcellular analysis of spatial transcriptomics data](https://github.com/ckmah/bento-tools) if you want a tool that uses the same data structure as scverse.
