Starfish is developed and maintained by the Science team at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. It began as a project to support the SpaceTx consortium. SpaceTx is a consortium effort to benchmark image based transcriptomic methods by applying 10 different methods on a common tissue source, standardizing the raw data formats and using standardized analysis pipelines.
