Area of Science:

  • Spatial Transcriptomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Imaging-based spatial transcriptomics offers cellular-level gene expression insights.
  • Accurate cell type annotation is vital but challenging due to limited gene panels in imaging data.
  • Existing reference-based annotation tools are primarily validated for single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and sequencing-based spatial data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance of established reference-based cell type annotation tools on imaging-based spatial transcriptomics data.
  • To compare computational methods against manual annotation for imaging spatial transcriptomics.
  • To establish a workflow for reference preparation, accuracy evaluation, and runtime estimation for these tools.

Main Methods:

  • Compared five reference-based tools (SingleR, Azimuth, RCTD, scPred, scmapCell) against manual annotation.
  • Utilized imaging-based Xenium data from human breast cancer for the comparison.
  • Developed and demonstrated a workflow for creating high-quality scRNA references and assessing annotation accuracy and computational time.

Main Results:

  • SingleR demonstrated superior performance among the tested reference-based annotation tools on the Xenium platform.
  • The accuracy of SingleR closely aligned with manual annotation results.
  • SingleR was identified as a fast and user-friendly option for cell type annotation in this context.

Conclusions:

  • SingleR is the optimal reference-based tool for cell type annotation on the Xenium imaging spatial transcriptomics platform.
  • The study provides a practical framework for applying and evaluating annotation tools for imaging spatial transcriptomics.
  • Findings facilitate more reliable downstream analyses of spatial gene expression patterns.
