Our Perspective "Mapping the Transcriptome - realising the full potential of spatial data analysis" is out today in @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…. A short thread on this work follows...
Me too :) #UKGS24

So, Conservatives pledge to increase apprenticeships by 100k by cutting 1 in 8 degrees. I feel a little thread is in order.

How much more money do we need to dump into automating analysis for non experts until we realize that we need to better train scientists to interpret results!

This is a massive problem @NCBI. As @TrostLab mentions, @NU_ITservice maintain this is a server-side problem, some clarity (and a fix!) would be very welcome:
Dear @NCBI @NLM_NIH
in our institution @StudentsNCL in the UK we cannot access Pubmed or any other NIH/NCBI website anymore. this has been intermittently going on for months!
Out IT says it comes from your side.
can you please look into this!
thanks a lot!

Bringing 2023 to a close, the new issue features a 3D atlas of the developing human head, how the ineffective control of EBV-induced autoimmunity increases the risk for multiple sclerosis and a machine learning architecture that integrates cell types across single-cell datasets!

Now online! Mapping the transcriptome: Realizing the full potential of spatial data analysis dlvr.it/SzrT2M
We demonstrate that key features of spatially-resolved data can be shown in biological data (using Visium data by way of example). 1) The modifiable areal unit problem - that the scale you chose for your analysis can strongly influence the results of that analysis
3) spatial heterogeneity - the relationships between variables is not static across space, and local relationships rarely look the same as the global picture
So happy, particularly for my student (@LZormpas), that the editors saw the value in this commentary. Thanks also to the helpful reviewers. And of course coauthors @lexcomber and @rachelq_ncl!
This paper is essentially the manifesto for @LZormpas's PhD work - that the features of spatial data, so well studied in the geographic sciences, manifest themselves in micro-scale spatial molecular biology data.
