BatchSVG is a method to identify batch-biased spatially variable genes (SVGs) in spatial transcriptomics data. The batch variable can be defined as "sample", "donor sex", or other batch effects of interest. The BatchSVG method is based on the binomial deviance model (Townes et al, 2019)).

BatchSVG is a R package available in Bioconductor version 3.19 and later. You can install BatchSVG by using the following commands in R session from Bioconductor.

if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) {
    install.packages("BiocManager")
}

BiocManager::install("BatchSVG")

## Check that you have a valid Bioconductor installation
BiocManager::valid()

The development version can be obtained by

BiocManager::install("christinehou11/BatchSVG")
