B.2 Additional acknowledgments

• The ‘Best Practices for Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis with Bioconductor’ online book is inspired by the Orchestrating Single-Cell Analysis with Bioconductor (OSCA) online book (Amezquita et al. 2020), which provides a detailed overview and examples of analysis workflows for single-cell RNA sequencing data using R and Bioconductor.

• We are especially grateful to the Bioconductor community and the Bioconductor Core Team.
