The spatial organisation of cells defines the biological functions of tissue ecosystems from development to disease. Recently, an array of technologies have been developed to query gene expression in a spatial context. These include techniques such as employing barcoded oligonucleotides, single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH), and DNA nanoball (DNB)-patterned arrays. However, resolution and efficiency vary across platforms and technologies. To obtain spatially relevant biological information from spatially resolved transcriptomics, we combined the Stereo-seq workflow with CRISPRclean technology to develop the STOmics-GenX pipeline. STOmics-GenX not only allowed us to reduce genomic, mitochondrial, and ribosomal reads, but also lead to a [~]2.1-fold increase in the number of detected genes when compared to conventional Stereo-seq (STOmics). Additionally, the STOmics-GenX pipeline resulted in an improved detection of cell type specific genes, thereby improving cellular annotations. Most importantly, STOmics-GenX allowed for enhanced detection of clinically relevant biomarkers such as Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), enabling the identification of two spatially distinct subsets of hepatocytes in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue. Thereby, combining CRISPRclean technology with STOmics not only allowed improved gene detection but also paved the way for spatial precision oncology by improved detection of clinically relevant biomarkers.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
