Background:

Spatial transcriptomics enables RNA detection in tissues, but whole-transcriptome analysis per cell remains difficult.
Integration methods combine spatial transcriptomics with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to predict transcript distribution and deconvolute cell types in tissues.
No independent comparative analyses exist for these integration methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To benchmark and compare the performance of 16 integration methods for spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq data.
To identify top-performing methods for predicting RNA spatial distribution and for cell type deconvolution.
To provide a benchmark pipeline for method selection in spatial omics data analysis.

Main Methods:

Benchmarking 16 integration methods using 45 paired spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq datasets.
Utilizing 32 simulated datasets to evaluate method performance.
Comparative analysis of method accuracy in transcript prediction and cell type deconvolution.

Main Results:

Tangram, gimVI, and SpaGE demonstrated superior performance in predicting the spatial distribution of RNA transcripts.
Cell2location, SpatialDWLS, and RCTD were identified as the top methods for cell type deconvolution of spatial spots.
Significant performance variations were observed across different integration methods and tasks.

Conclusions:

The study provides a comprehensive benchmark of integration methods for spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq data.
Researchers can use these findings to select the most appropriate integration tools for their specific spatial omics research questions.
This work facilitates more accurate spatial transcriptomic data analysis and interpretation.
