Show abstract
We introduce {Phi}-Space ST, a platform-agnostic method to identify continuous cell states in spatial transcriptomics (ST) data using multiple scRNA-seq references. For ST with supercellular resolution, {Phi}-Space ST achieves interpretable cell type deconvolution with significantly faster computation. For subcellular resolution, {Phi}-Space ST annotates cell states without cell segmentation, leading to highly insightful spatial niche identification. {Phi}-Space ST harmonises annotations derived from multiple scRNA-seq references, and provides interpretable characterisations of disease cell states by leveraging healthy references. We validate {Phi}-Space ST in three case studies involving CosMx, Visium and Stereo-seq platforms for various cancer tissues. Our method revealed niche-specific enriched cell types and distinct cell type co-presence patterns that distinguish tumour from non-tumour tissue regions. These findings highlight the potential of {Phi}-Space ST as a robust and scalable tool for ST data analysis for understanding complex tissues and pathologies.

"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.
