    Define and visualize pathological architectures of human tissues from spatially resolved transcriptomics using deep learning
    (Elsevier, 2022-08-24) Chang, Yuzhou; He, Fei; Wang, Juexin; Chen, Shuo; Li, Jingyi; Liu, Jixin; Yu, Yang; Su, Li; Ma, Anjun; Allen, Carter; Lin, Yu; Sun, Shaoli; Liu, Bingqiang; Otero, José Javier; Chung, Dongjun; Fu, Hongjun; Li, Zihai; Xu, Dong; Ma, Qin; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine
    Spatially resolved transcriptomics provides a new way to define spatial contexts and understand the pathogenesis of complex human diseases. Although some computational frameworks can characterize spatial context via various clustering methods, the detailed spatial architectures and functional zonation often cannot be revealed and localized due to the limited capacities of associating spatial information. We present RESEPT, a deep-learning framework for characterizing and visualizing tissue architecture from spatially resolved transcriptomics. Given inputs such as gene expression or RNA velocity, RESEPT learns a three-dimensional embedding with a spatial retained graph neural network from spatial transcriptomics. The embedding is then visualized by mapping into color channels in an RGB image and segmented with a supervised convolutional neural network model. Based on a benchmark of 10x Genomics Visium spatial transcriptomics datasets on the human and mouse cortex, RESEPT infers and visualizes the tissue architecture accurately. It is noteworthy that, for the in-house AD samples, RESEPT can localize cortex layers and cell types based on pre-defined region- or cell-type-enriched genes and furthermore provide critical insights into the identification of amyloid-beta plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Interestingly, in a glioblastoma sample analysis, RESEPT distinguishes tumor-enriched, non-tumor, and regions of neuropil with infiltrating tumor cells in support of clinical and prognostic cancer applications.

    IRIS-FGM: an integrative single-cell RNA-Seq interpretation system for functional gene module analysis
    (Oxford University Press, 2021) Chang, Yuzhou; Allen, Carter; Wan, Changlin; Chung, Dongjun; Zhang, Chi; Li, Zihai; Ma, Qin; Medical and Molecular Genetics, School of Medicine
    Summary: Single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) data is useful in discovering cell heterogeneity and signature genes in specific cell populations in cancer and other complex diseases. Specifically, the investigation of condition-specific functional gene modules (FGM) can help to understand interactive gene networks and complex biological processes in different cell clusters. QUBIC2 is recognized as one of the most efficient and effective biclustering tools for condition-specific FGM identification from scRNA-Seq data. However, its limited availability to a C implementation restricted its application to only a few downstream analysis functionalities. We developed an R package named IRIS-FGM (Integrative scRNA-Seq Interpretation System for Functional Gene Module analysis) to support the investigation of FGMs and cell clustering using scRNA-Seq data. Empowered by QUBIC2, IRIS-FGM can effectively identify condition-specific FGMs, predict cell types/clusters, uncover differentially expressed genes and perform pathway enrichment analysis. It is noteworthy that IRIS-FGM can also take Seurat objects as input, facilitating easy integration with the existing analysis pipeline. Availability and implementation: IRIS-FGM is implemented in the R environment (as of version 3.6) with the source code freely available at https://github.com/BMEngineeR/IRISFGM.
