arXiv:2506. 11152v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Single-cell transcriptomics and proteomics have become a great source for data-driven insights into biology, enabling the use of advanced deep learning methods to understand cellular heterogeneity and gene expression at the single-cell level.

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.
