arXiv:2410.10652v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cells in multicellular organisms coordinate to form structural and functional niches. With spatial transcriptomics (ST) enabling gene expression profiling in spatial contexts, it has been revealed that spatial niches serve as cohesive and recurrent units in physiological and pathological processes. These observations suggest universal tissue organization principles encoded by conserved niche patterns, and call for a query-based niche analytical paradigm beyond current computational tools. In this work, we defined the niche-query task, w
The accelerating pace of spatial transcriptomics data generation necessitates more sophisticated computational tools for analysis, moving beyond manual interpretation methods.
This development allows for a more automated and scalable understanding of complex biological systems, which is crucial for drug discovery, personalized medicine, and fundamental biological research.
Biological research shifts towards query-based analytics for spatial transcriptomics, enabling automated identification of conserved niche patterns and potentially universal tissue organization principles.
