The paper compares MERFISH spatial transcriptomics with bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing in mouse liver and kidney, finding MERFISH provides comparable results and robust cell type identification without needing integration with scRNA-seq atlases.

ortho_seqs quantifies sequence-phenotype interactions using tensor-based orthogonal polynomials, demonstrating its application to synthetic antibody sequences and other datasets.

This paper introduces Kmermaid and Orpheum to enable scRNA-seq analysis in species without reference genomes by detecting cell type-specific sequences without gene annotations.
