A Unified Geometric Framework for Developmental Analysis of Spatial Transcriptomic Data

arXiv:2608.15306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-throughput single-cell and spatial transcriptomic technologies provide high-resolution snapshots of heterogeneous cellular states, but their destructive nature prevents repeated measurements of the same cells over time. Consequently, temporal and spatial dynamics must be inferred from independently sampled, unaligned cell populations, making it challenging to reconstruct developmental trajectories. Optimal transport (OT) offers a geometric f
