Research Briefings

  • Single-cell RNA-sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data enable the inference of how information is transmitted from one cell to another and how it modulates gene expression within cells. Now, a learning method infers networks describing how the inflow of one signal, mediated by intracellular gene modules, drives the outflow of other signals for intercellular communication.

    Research Briefing
  • FICTURE software addresses a critical challenge in spatial omics analysis: making high-resolution inference with only a few molecules per square micron. This tool fully realizes the potential of contemporary spatial platforms by learning latent spatial factors from the whole transcriptome while preserving the resolution of each technology at scale.
