9. “Pseudo-bulking” collapses data: spot to layer level 9 Maynard, Collado-Torres, et al, Nat Neuro, 2021
10. Three statistical models to assess laminar enrichment “ANOVA” model 10 “Enrichment” model “Pairwise” model Is any layer different? Is one layer > the rest? Is layer X > layer Y? Maynard, Collado-Torres, et al, Nat Neuro, 2021

Group FDR<0.05 Layer1 3033 Layer2 1562 Layer3 183 Layer4 740 Layer5 643 Layer6 379 WM 9124 Only a subset of previous layer marker genes in mouse and human showed laminar association Maynard, Collado-Torres, et al, Nat Neuro, 2021
12. 12 SpatialExperiment: infrastructure for spatially resolved transcriptomics data in R using Bioconductor Righelli, Weber, Crowell, et al, Bioinformatics, 2022 DOI https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btac299 Dario Righellli Helena L Crowell @drighelli @CrowellHL Lukas M Weber @lmwebr

15. 15 We provided a framework for comparing clustering results vs the manual annotation (aka, ground truth)

18. Openly sharing data accelerates science: share and you will reap the benefits too! 18 Us: 346 days Them: 271 days Total sequential (fictional): 617 days Reality (preprint to BayesSpace pub): 461 days Difference saved: 156 days Preprints: 190 days
19. 19 What helps also: provide a ground truth and a path towards benchmarking • Fully unsupervised was initially very far from the ground truth • Truth has caveats and should be considered a guideline • Ultimately, the goal is not to fully reproduce the ground truth, but learn what helps and what doesn’t • Ground truth will evolve ;)
20. These new methods enable us to scale up our projects 20 Abby Spangler @abspangler @Nick-Eagles (GH) Nicholas J Eagles Louise Huuki-Myers @lahuuki Huuki-Myers, Spangler, Eagles et al. In preparation
22. Software keeps evolving and as leaders in the field we aim to use the best methods 22 Moses, L., Pachter, L. Museum of spatial transcriptomics. Nat Methods 19, 534–546 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-022-01409-2
23. 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 @Nick-Eagles (GH) Nicholas J Eagles https://github.com/LieberInstitute/jhpce_mod_source https://github.com/LieberInstitute/jhpce_module_config
24. 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 @Nick-Eagles (GH) Nicholas J Eagles
25. Documentation + wrapper functions + tests (GitHub Actions + Bioconductor) 25 http://bioconductor.org/packages/spatialLIBD http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/data/experiment/vignettes/spatialLIBD/ inst/doc/TenX_data_download.html

31. Identification of genes associated with AD pathology 31 (Kwon et al., in preparation) p<0.05 in targeted sequencing panel
32. Working with Visium • It’s very powerful • Open source friendly • 6.5 mm2 too restrictive? Opportunity for creativity • Visium and Visium-IF have required the development of software • It’s fun to work on something where there are no answers on Google =) but also a challenge 32
33. Future Directions • Integration of proteomic and transcriptomic data • Visium-IF AD proof-of-concept • Integration of snRNA-seq and Visium data • Visium + snRNA-seq on LC • Increasing resolution (# spots) and area (array size) • Visium HD • Leveraging rich histology/imaging data • Clustering (SpaGCN), spot deconvolution, etc. • Building educational resources • Completing Orchestrating Spatially Resolved Transcriptomics Analysis with Bioconductor (OSTA) 33
