Researchers have developed COAST, a novel framework for predicting gene expression in spatial transcriptomics using histology images. This context-aware differential learning approach leverages both local and global context features, incorporating a Transformer encoder to capture intricate patterns. COAST is trained using a combined objective of absolute expression regression and signed differential regression between target and context spots, showing improved performance on multiple datasets.
