Article Abstract

Spatial omics emerged as a new frontier of biological and biomedical research. Here, we present spatial-CUT&Tag for spatially resolved genome-wide profiling of histone modifications by combining in situ CUT&Tag chemistry, microfluidic deterministic barcoding, and next-generation sequencing. Spatially resolved chromatin states in mouse embryos revealed tissue-type-specific epigenetic regulations in concordance with ENCODE references and provide spatial information at tissue scale. Spatial-CUT&Tag revealed epigenetic control of the cortical layer development and spatial patterning of cell types determined by histone modification in mouse brain. Single-cell epigenomes can be derived in situ by identifying 20-micrometer pixels containing only one nucleus using immunofluorescence imaging. Spatial chromatin modification profiling in tissue may offer new opportunities to study epigenetic regulation, cell function, and fate decision in normal physiology and pathogenesis.

Breast cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease with diverse outcomes, and intra-tumoral heterogeneity plays a significant role in both diagnosis and treatment. Despite its importance, the spatial distribution of intra-tumoral heterogeneity is not fully elucidated. Spatial transcriptomics has emerged as a promising tool to study the molecular mechanisms behind many diseases.

Previous studies have demonstrated that metric learning approaches yield remarkable performance in the field of kinship verification. Nevertheless, a prevalent limitation of most existing methods lies in their over-reliance on learning exclusively from specified types of given kin data, which frequently results in information isolation. Although generative-based metric learning methods present potential solutions to this problem, they are hindered by substantial computational costs.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression in cancer biology, yet their spatial dynamics within tumor microenvironments (TMEs) remain underexplored due to technical limitations in current spatial transcriptomics (ST) technologies. To address this gap, we present STmiR, a novel XGBoost-based framework for spatially resolved miRNA activity prediction. STmiR integrates bulk RNA-seq data (TCGA and CCLE) with spatial transcriptomics profiles to model nonlinear miRNA-mRNA interactions, achieving high predictive accuracy (Spearman's ρ > 0.

Motivation: The advent of next-generation sequencing-based spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) techniques has reshaped genomic studies by enabling high-throughput gene expression profiling while preserving spatial and morphological context. Understanding gene functions and interactions in different spatial domains is crucial, as it can enhance our comprehension of biological mechanisms, such as cancer-immune interactions and cell differentiation in various regions. It is necessary to cluster tissue regions into distinct spatial domains and identify discriminating genes that elucidate the clustering result, referred to as spatial domain-specific discriminating genes (DGs).

Unlabelled: Passive Acoustic Mapping (PAM) is rapidly emerging as a ubiquitous tool for real-time localization and monitoring of therapeutic ultrasound treatments involving cavitation in the context of safety or efficacy. The ability of PAM to spatially quantify and resolve cavitation activity offers a unique opportunity to correlate the energy of cavitation phenomena with locally observed bioeffects.

Objective: We aim to develop methods of measuring and reporting spatio-temporally varying cavitation energies that are energy-preserving, device-independent, and adequately normalized to the volume of tissue being affected by the reported cavitation activity.
