SpatialE identifies spatial enrichment of Alzheimer's Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis genes in human brain

We developed a novel computational tool (SpatialE) to characterize spatial enrichment expression of a gene set in spatial transcriptomics data. Spatial enrichment analyses identified regional brain vulnerability of AD and ALS associated genes in human brain.

Abstract

We developed a novel computational tool (SpatialE) to characterize spatial enrichment expression of a gene set in spatial transcriptomics data. Spatial enrichment analyses identified regional brain vulnerability of AD and ALS associated genes in human brain.
