  6. Visium Platform for Spatial Gene Expression Image from 10x Genomics

    - A slide contains 4 capture areas, each full of thousands of 55um-wide “spots” (often containing 1-10 cells) - Unique barcodes in each spot bind to particular genes; after sequencing, gene expression can be tied back to exact spots, forming a spatial map Kristen R. Maynard 9

  11. Spatial Registration Adds Anatomical Context • Validate detection of laminar

    structure • Correlate enrichment t-statistics for top marker genes of reference ◦ Cluster vs. manual annotation • Annotate with strongly associated histological layer 18 Sp k D d ~L doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.15.528722
  12. Spatial Registration of Spatial Domains • Map SpDs to Maynard

    et al. manual annotated layers • Highlight most strongly associated histological layer to add biological context 19 doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.15.528722
  13. Identify Layer Associated Neuron Populations 20 • Apply Spatial Registration

    with manual layers • 13 layer-level cell types ◦ Assign Excitatory Neurons histological layers ◦ Pool other cell type groups Kelsey D Montgomery

    from the literature Software name Overall approach Input Cell Counts Output Tangram (Biancalani et al.) Mapping individual cells Every spot Integer counts Cell2location (Kleshchevnikov et al.) Matching gene-expression profile Average across spots Decimal counts SPOTlight (Elosua-Bayes et al.) Matching gene-expression profile Not used Proportions 22 Excit L5 Counts
  16. Visium Spatial Proteogenomics (Visium-SPG) Visium-SPG = Visium SRT + immunofluorescence

  17. Visium Spatial Proteogenomics (Visium-SPG) - Gene expression captured like ordinary

    Visium - Multi-channel fluorescent images captured of the same tissue - Channels measure proteins marking for specific cell types Kristen R.

  19. How Spot Deconvolution Results Were Used A. Better characterize unsupervised

    spatial domains B. Cell-cell communication; cell-type-informed ligand-receptor interactions in the context of schizophrenia risk A 29 Boyi Guo Melissa Grant-Peters
  20. Visium spatial clustering works for variables with high % variance

    explained. But what about other ones? DOI: 10.1038/s41593-020-00787-0
  21. AD pathology signal is too small to detect by spatially-resolved

    gene expression alone research.libd.org/Visium_SPG_AD/
  22. sc/snRNA-seq QC metrics such as # detected genes, # UMI,

    mitochondria expression % are likely biologically related!
  23. Having more data is useful to provide context! Here 4

    new samples have low sequencing saturation (outliers) but are within range of good samples from other studies
  24. Having more data is useful to provide context! Those 4

    samples have great median UMI counts per spot ^_^
  25. Software keeps evolving and as leaders in the field we

    aim to use the best methods 41 Moses, L., Pachter, L. Museum of spatial transcriptomics. Nat Methods 19, 534–546 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-022-01409-2
  26. The Development Process - Making a module - New, experimental

    software can change dramatically (function and syntax) between versions - Promotes collaboration by allowing two researchers to share exact code and instantly run software without special set-up SpatialExperiment release 3.14 SpatialExperiment devel 3.15 module load tangram/1.0.2 module load cell2location/0.8a0 module load spagcn/1.2.0 https://github.com/LieberInstitute/jhpce_mod_source https://github.com/LieberInstitute/jhpce_module_config Nicholas J Eagles @Nick-Eagles (GitHub)
  27. The Development Process - Regular interaction with software authors to

    clarify functionality and report bugs - Documentation for code and author responsiveness on GitHub can be critical in successfully applying software to our data Nicholas J Eagles @Nick-Eagles (GitHub)
  28. More challenges ahead Working with multiple capture areas per tissue

  29. lcolladotor.github.io/#projects • Every assay has caveats • We re-use tricks:

    think adding 0, multiplying by 1 • It nearly always takes a team • Data sharing accelerates science + democratizes access to it • Zooming in allows us to reduce the heterogeneity • We can learn from each other: from uniformly processing our data & re-using it → replicate / validate?
