Visium Platform for Spatial Gene Expression Image from 10x Genomics - A slide contains 4 capture areas, each full of thousands of 55um-wide “spots” (often containing 1-10 cells) - Unique barcodes in each spot bind to particular genes; after sequencing, gene expression can be tied back to exact spots, forming a spatial map Kristen R.

BayesSpace clustering with batch correction worked best for multiple samples 17 doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.15.528722 twitter.com/CrowellHL/status/1597579271945715717
Spatial Registration Adds Anatomical Context ● Validate detection of laminar structure ● Correlate enrichment t-statistics for top marker genes of reference ○ Cluster vs. manual annotation ● Annotate with strongly associated histological layer 18 Sp k D d ~L doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.15.528722
Existing Spot Deconvolution Software - Explored 3 novel software methods from the literature Software name Overall approach Input Cell Counts Output Tangram (Biancalani et al.) Mapping individual cells Every spot Integer counts Cell2location (Kleshchevnikov et al.) Matching gene-expression profile Average across spots Decimal counts SPOTlight (Elosua-Bayes et al.) Matching gene-expression profile Not used Proportions 22 Excit L5 Counts
How Spot Deconvolution Results Were Used A. Better characterize unsupervised spatial domains B. Cell-cell communication; cell-type-informed ligand-receptor interactions in the context of schizophrenia risk A 29 Boyi Guo Melissa Grant-Peters
Having more data is useful to provide context! Here 4 new samples have low sequencing saturation (outliers) but are within range of good samples from other studies
Software keeps evolving and as leaders in the field we aim to use the best methods 41 Moses, L., Pachter, L. Museum of spatial transcriptomics. Nat Methods 19, 534–546 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-022-01409-2
The Development Process - Making a module - New, experimental software can change dramatically (function and syntax) between versions - Promotes collaboration by allowing two researchers to share exact code and instantly run software without special set-up SpatialExperiment release 3.14 SpatialExperiment devel 3.15 module load tangram/1.0.2 module load cell2location/0.8a0 module load spagcn/1.2.0 https://github.com/LieberInstitute/jhpce_mod_source https://github.com/LieberInstitute/jhpce_module_config Nicholas J Eagles @Nick-Eagles (GitHub)
The Development Process - Regular interaction with software authors to clarify functionality and report bugs - Documentation for code and author responsiveness on GitHub can be critical in successfully applying software to our data Nicholas J Eagles @Nick-Eagles (GitHub)
More challenges ahead Working with multiple capture areas per tissue Nicholas J Eagles @Nick-Eagles (GitHub) Prashanthi Ravichandran @prashanthi-ravichandran (GH) Spot diameter error: ~1.8 → ~1.1 Another pair: ~2.8 → ~0.76
lcolladotor.github.io/#projects ● Every assay has caveats ● We re-use tricks: think adding 0, multiplying by 1 ● It nearly always takes a team ● Data sharing accelerates science + democratizes access to it ● Zooming in allows us to reduce the heterogeneity ● We can learn from each other: from uniformly processing our data & re-using it → replicate / validate?
