Background:

Spatial omics technologies offer unprecedented insights into tissue molecular properties within their spatial context.
Integrating and comparing spatial omics data across different technologies and modalities remains a significant challenge.
A lack of tools for comparative analysis hinders the search, matching, and visualization of molecular similarities and differences across multiple spatial omics samples.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce CAST (cross-sample alignment of spatial omics), a novel deep graph neural network-based method.
To enable spatial-to-spatial searching and matching of single-cell data across diverse spatial omics technologies and modalities.
To provide a framework for comparative analysis of spatial molecular features and reconstruction of spatially resolved multi-omic profiles.

Main Methods:

Development of CAST, a deep graph neural network approach for spatial omics data integration.
Alignment of tissues based on intrinsic similarities of spatial molecular features at the single-cell level.
Implementation of spatially resolved differential analysis (∆Analysis) and single-cell relative translational efficiency profiling.

Main Results:

CAST successfully aligns tissues and reconstructs spatially resolved single-cell multi-omic profiles.
Spatially resolved differential analysis (∆Analysis) effectively pinpoints disease-associated molecular pathways and cell-cell interactions.
Single-cell relative translational efficiency profiling reveals variations in translational control across different cell types and tissue regions.

Conclusions:

CAST provides an integrative framework for seamless searching and matching of single-cell spatial data.
The method facilitates cross-technology and cross-modality comparisons of spatial omics datasets.
CAST enhances the ability to uncover spatial molecular patterns, disease mechanisms, and cellular communication within tissues.
