Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• GenAR predicts spatial gene expression from H&E + coordinates via next-scale autoregression. • Hierarchical gene groups enable coarse-to-fine decoding and cross-gene dependence. • Discrete count-token generation predicts raw integer counts on the physical scale. • State-of-the-art on five spatial transcriptomics datasets across diverse tissues. • Improves zero recovery and count accuracy with ∼6.4× fewer FLOPs than diffusion.
