Spatial transcriptomic technologies have helped to resolve the connection between gene expression and the 2D orientation of tissues relative to each other. However, the limited single-cell resolution makes it difficult to highlight the most important molecular interactions in these tissues. SpaceMarkers, R/Bioconductor software, can help to find molecular interactions, by identifying genes associated with latent space interactions in spatial transcriptomics.

Fit a latent embedding multivariate regression (LEMUR) model to multi-condition single-cell data. The model provides a parametric description of single-cell data measured with treatment vs. control or more complex experimental designs. The parametric model is used to (1) align conditions, (2) predict log fold changes between conditions for all cells, and (3) identify cell neighborhoods with consistent log fold changes. For those neighborhoods, a pseudobulked differential expression test is conducted to assess which genes are significantly changed.
