arXiv:2608. 14355v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial transcriptomics (ST) enables the simultaneous profiling of gene expression and tissue morphology, creating an opportunity to learn multimodal representations capturing shared morpho-transcriptomic structure.
arXiv:2606. 03644v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Comprehensive molecular profiling is essential for modern precision oncology but remains hindered by prohibitive costs, specimen exhaustion, and protracted turnaround times.
SpaFactor is a lightweight framework that predicts spatial gene expression from hematoxylin and eosin images by fusing central spot visuals with multiscale neighborhood context. It uses a residual MLP to map tissue microenvironment to low‑dimensional latent gene programs, which are decoded into coordinated multi‑gene predictions. Across five public cohorts, SpaFactor outperforms existing methods, especially for spatially variable genes, and better recovers biologically organized spatial patterns.
arXiv:2607. 14410v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatially resolved omics studies increasingly combine transcriptomic and epigenomic assays, yet downstream analysis is often still performed using single-modality pipelines.
arXiv:2606. 29949v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: H&E-stained whole-slide images offer cohort-scale availability and rich spatial context but lack molecular specificity, whereas bulk RNA-seq provides transcriptome-wide resolution at high cost with limited archival availability.

arXiv:2608. 14710v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting spatial gene expression from hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E)-stained images offers a cost-effective alternative to spatial transcriptomics (ST).
arXiv:2608.24823v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatially resolved biology requires representations that preserve biological neighborhood structure rather than only exact cross-modal correspondences....
arXiv:2608. 14924v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spatial transcriptomics (ST) links tissue morphology with molecular programs, motivating multimodal pretraining methods that align histology images with gene expression.
arXiv:2606. 05109v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: To leverage the full potential of multimodal data, we need representations that go beyond the state-of-the-art alignment and fusion approaches and exploit all cross-modal interactions without sacrificing modality-specific information.
