To bridge the gap between evolving experimental technology and current computational techniques, we herein survey the applications of computational methods in spatial transcriptomics and classify them into major categories based on the domain of applications (Table 1). RNA-seq presents a particular challenge, as much of the duplication may be genuine signal from highly expressed transcripts, while some may be attributable to amplification and sequencing biases. To carry out a manual check on the cell type identity of each cluster, the user could refer to the DEGs list to validate the cell type annotations or proceed on with the manual annotation tool to annotate cells on their own. A common drawback for Trendsceek [40], SpatialDE [41], and SPARK [42] is their high computational complexity, which hinders these methods from being readily applicable to large-scale high-throughput spatial transcriptomics data. Furthermore, with the continuous evolution of sequencing protocols, the underlying assumptions of current analytical methods need to be re-evaluated and adjusted to harness the increasing data complexity. a, Schematic workflow.
