473-Correcting Segmentation Errors in Spatial omics
Spatial transcriptomics relies on sequencing and imaging to map cellular activities, but both methods face significant technical hurdles in accurately assigning RNA molecules to individual cells. The provided text highlights how cell segmentation errors and the limitations of two-dimensional mapping lead to "admixture," where transcripts from neighboring cells are incorrectly attributed to a specific profile. These errors create artifactual signals that can distort biological results, such as differential expression and ligand-receptor analyses. To address this, the researchers developed…
