Area of Science:

Genomics
Bioinformatics
Computational Biology

Background:

Spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) provides gene expression data with spatial context.
SRT data is susceptible to spatial noise from cryosectioning and sample preparation.
Existing denoising methods may introduce false positives through imputation.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel algorithm, SpotGF, for denoising SRT data.
To improve the accuracy and reliability of SRT data analysis.
To provide a robust preprocessing tool for SRT.

Main Methods:

Developed SpotGF, an algorithm utilizing optimal transport-based gene filtering.
Quantified diffusion patterns to distinguish noise (widespread genes) from biological signals (aggregated genes).
Preserved raw sequencing data, avoiding imputation-based false positives.

Main Results:

SpotGF effectively filters spatial noise in SRT data.
The algorithm demonstrated superior performance in cell clustering and marker gene identification.
SpotGF facilitated more accurate cell type annotation compared to conventional methods.

Conclusions:

SpotGF is a powerful tool for denoising SRT data, enhancing downstream analysis.
The method preserves raw data integrity, reducing false positives.
SpotGF is recommended as a crucial preprocessing step for SRT analysis.
