Another example of the different results one gets from a Scanpy vs. Seurat analysis, in this case a Visium HD dataset from academic.oup.com/bioinformati...
13 vs. 20 clusters. And qualitatively different results, corroborating what we saw in biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Amazing "pre-Christmas" gift for the Vascular Biology Community! What a treat!!! 💫 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
