摘要
En 中文
Spatial clustering, which shares an analogy with single-cell clustering, has expanded the scope of tissue physiology studies from cell-centroid to structure-centroid with spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) data. Computational methods have undergone remarkable development in recent years, but a comprehensive benchmark study is still lacking. Here we present a benchmark study of 13 computational methods on 34 SRT data (7 datasets). The performance was evaluated on the basis of accuracy, spatial continuity, marker genes detection, scalability, and robustness. We found existing methods were complementary in terms of their performance and functionality, and we provide guidance for selecting appropriate methods for given scenarios. On testing additional 22 challenging datasets, we identified challenges in identifying noncontinuous spatial domains and limitations of existing methods, highlighting their inadequacies in handling recent large-scale tasks. Furthermore, with 145 simulated data, we examined the robustness of these methods against four different factors, and assessed the impact of pre- and postprocessing approaches. Our study offers a comprehensive evaluation of existing spatial clustering methods with SRT data, paving the way for future advancements in this rapidly evolving field. A benchmark study compares 13 spatial clustering methods on spatial transcriptomics data.
