MilliMap: interactive closed-loop analysis for spatial omics

Abstract

Spatial omics analysis requires iterative interplay between statistical computation and tissue-context interpretation, yet current workflows fragment these steps across disconnected environments. We present MilliMap, an interactive framework that unifies statistical analysis with spatial exploration. By closing the analysis-visualization loop, MilliMap empowers biologists to steer parameters, refine ROIs, and validate findings within a single environment. We demonstrate its utility by delineating complex neuroanatomy and identifying niche-restricted functional states in tumor microenvironments.
