New MARC framework improves cell segmentation in spatial transcriptomics

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed MARC, a novel framework for cell segmentation in subcellular spatial transcriptomics. This method predicts a consensus-support map by learning from multiple segmentation techniques, bypassing the need for computationally intensive multi-method inference. MARC achieved a mean Dice score of 0.90 and a mean intersection-over-union of 0.82 on Xenium kidney tissue data, demonstrating its ability to identify weakly supported regions and flag low-consensus cells for review. AI

IMPACT This framework could streamline analysis in large-scale spatial transcriptomics studies by improving cell segmentation accuracy and efficiency.

    MARC: Morphology-Aware Regression of Consensus for Cell Segmentation in Subcellular Spatial Transcriptomics

    arXiv:2609.13665v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate cell segmentation remains a major bottleneck in subcellular spatial transcriptomics (SST), in which morphological images and spatially resolved RNA transcripts are used to partition tissues into individual cellular instance…
