Show abstract
Differential expression is a key application of imaging spatial transcriptomics, moving analysis beyond cell type localization to examining cell state responses to microenvironments. However, spatial data poses new challenges to differential expression: segmentation errors cause bias in fold-change estimates, and correlation among neighboring cells leads standard models to inflate statistical significance. We find that ignoring these issues can result in considerable false discoveries that greatly outnumber true findings. We present a suite of solutions to these fundamental challenges, and implement them in the R package smiDE. spatial transcriptomics, differential expression, segmentation error mitigation, spatial correlation, spatial random effects model

"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.
