Researchers from the Shanghai Institute for Advanced Study, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and Fudan University have developed FLAG, a novel framework for predicting spatial gene expression from histology images. This method redefines the task from deterministic regression to structured distribution modeling, addressing the "Gene Dimension Curse" in high-dimensional data. FLAG integrates a spatial graph encoder with a conditional diffusion Transformer, aligning with pre-trained gene foundation models to capture both gene-gene regulatory relationships and gene-spatial distributions.
