benchmarking

• Benchmarking spatial and single-cell transcriptomics integration methods for transcript distribution prediction and cell type deconvolution We found that Tangram, gimVI, and SpaGE outperformed other integration methods for predicting the spatial distribution of RNA transcripts, whereas Cell2location, SpatialDWLS, and RCTD are the top-performing methods for the cell type deconvolution of spots.

Differential expression

• A statistical method to uncover gene expression changes in spatial transcriptomics Cell type-specific inference of differential expression (C-SIDE) is a statistical model that identifies which genes (within a determined cell type) are differentially expressed on the basis of spatial position, pathological changes or cell–cell interactions.
