New Diffusion Model Predicts Gene Expression from Histology Images

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel method for predicting gene expression from histology images by reformulating the task as a conditional generation problem within the transcriptional program space. This approach utilizes consensus non-negative matrix factorization (cNMF) to identify key transcriptional programs and then employs a conditional diffusion model to generate program activations based on morphological data. This method aims to overcome the cost and scalability limitations of current spatial transcriptomics techniques by leveraging established transcriptomic modeling practices and reducing the dimensionality of the generative task. AI

IMPACT This approach could significantly reduce the cost and increase the scalability of gene expression analysis, enabling broader research in transcriptomics.

    Program-space Diffusion for Morphology-to-Transcriptomics Prediction

    arXiv:2608.14330v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Spatial transcriptomics (ST) enables genome-wide gene expression profiling while preserving tissue architecture, but its cost and limited scalability remain major bottlenecks. This has motivated models that predict spatial expressio…
