751-SPLISOSM: Mapping Spatial Isoform Patterns
SPLISOSM is a novel computational framework designed to identify and analyze spatial isoform patterns within complex tissues. While traditional spatial transcriptomics often simplifies data by looking only at total gene expression, this tool detects how different RNA versions of the same gene are distributed across specific locations. By using multivariate statistical modeling and nonparametric kernels, the method overcomes common data challenges like sparsity and interdependence between isoforms. Researchers successfully applied this tool to mouse and human brain tissues, uncovering…
