cortex using Visium. 2. Spatial registration of single-nucleus RNA-seq data from human cortex. 3. Layer-enriched expression of genes associated with brain disorders. Maynard, Collado-Torres, et al, bioRxiv, 2020
“Enrichment” model “Pairwise” model Maynard, Collado-Torres, et al, bioRxiv, 2020 Is any layer different? Is one layer > the rest? Is layer X > layer Y?

Collado-Torres, et al, bioRxiv, 2020 Data-driven layer-enriched clustering in the DLPFC Spatially-varying genes Highly-variable genes Spot-level clustering Manual layer annotation using spatialLIBD • Which samples to use? • All samples? • Sample by sample then merge? • Use image-derived information?
genes only Use layer- enriched genes (scenario where you have more datasets) Only use the data Requires >=1 expert Benefits from known marker genes (if expressed) & prior knowledge
