Baysor: Cell segmentation in imaging-based spatial transcriptomics

Petukhov V, Xu RJ, Soldatov RA, Cadinu P, Khodosevich K, Moffit JR, Kharchenko P

Problem

How to map expression to space?

  • MERFISH
  • ISS
  • osmFISH
  • smFISH
  • BaristaSeq
  • Up to 10  cells
  • Up to 10  transcripts
  • Up to 10000 genes

Spatial protocols based on RNA-FISH or in situ sequencint

  • DARTFISH
  • ex-FISH
  • StarMAP
  • seq-FISH
  • FISSEQ
