Scalable and model-free detection of spatial patterns and colocalization

Abstract: The expeditious growth in spatial omics technologies enable profiling genome-wide molecular events at molecular and single-cell resolution, highlighting a need for fast and reliable methods to characterize spatial patterns. We developed SpaGene, a model-free method to discover any spatial patterns rapidly in large scale spatial omics studies. Analyzing simulation and a variety of spatial resolved transcriptomics data demonstrated that SpaGene is more powerful and scalable than existing methods. Spatial express… Show more

“…As a baseline comparison, we calculated the same metrics based on randomly shuffled domain labels and cell type identities. In addition, we also compare UTAG to other methods for inference of higher-level tissue structure in terms of their features and performance, such as SpaGene 25 and SpatialLDA 26 (Fig. 2b and Extended Data Fig.…”

“…Giotto [Dries et al, 2021], in addition to interfacing with SpatialDE, trendsceek, and SPARK, implements its own SVG test called binary spatial extraction (BinSpect) which binarizes expression values using either K-means clustering (BinSpect-kmeans) or threshold ranking (BinSpect-rank) and runs a Fisher's exact test using a contingency table of values from neighboring cells. SpaGene [Liu et al, 2022] also heuristically binarizes expression data, but instead considers the degree distribution for a subgraph of the k nearest neighbor graph consisting of just high expression cells, operating under the principle that if high expression cells colocate we would expect an increase in higher degree nodes in this graph when compared to a shuffled graph.…”
