From the editor:

Today we feature articles on cell fate, spatial transcriptomics, glucose metabolism, model identifiability, and more.

Enjoy,

The newsletter now has a dedicated homepage where we post the cover artwork for each issue. We encourage submissions that coincide with the release of a recent paper from your group. This week’s artwork:

Based on the paper: “Spatially aware dimension reduction for spatial transcriptomics” in Nature Communications

Artist: Lulu Shang (@shang_lulu)

Caption: "Spatial transcriptomics are a collection of genomic technologies that have enabled transcriptomic profiling on tissues with spatial localization information. Analyzing spatial transcriptomic data is computationally challenging, as the data collected from various spatial transcriptomic technologies are often noisy and display substantial spatial correlation across tissue locations. We developed a spatially-aware dimension reduction method, SpatialPCA, that can extract a low dimensional representation of the spatial transcriptomics data with biological signal and preserved spatial correlation structure, thus unlocking many existing computational tools previously developed in single-cell RNAseq studies for tailored analysis of spatial transcriptomics. Our results demonstrate the benefits of SpatialPCA for detecting spatial domains and inferring tissue trajectories, and constructing high-resolution spatial maps."
