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.
CorrFlow is a new generative framework for predicting spatial transcriptomics from histology images. It explicitly models gene-gene interactions using an annealed masked flow matching strategy and a gene graph‑regularized optimization that incorporates prior knowledge from STRING and data‑driven co‑expression from WGCNA. Across 12 datasets, CorrFlow outperforms existing methods in average PCC and HPCC, producing more biologically coherent ST predictions.
