Bin2cell reconstructs cells from high resolution Visium HD data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY: Visium HD by 10X Genomics is the first commercially available platform capable of capturing full scale transcriptomic data paired with a reference morphology image from archived FFPE blocks at sub-cellular resolution. However, aggregation of capture regions to single cells poses challenges. Bin2cell reconstructs cells from the highest resolution data (2 μm bins) by leveraging morphology image segmentation and gene expression information. It is compatible with established Python single cell and spatial transcriptomics software, and operates efficiently in a matter of minutes without requiring a GPU. We demonstrate improvements in downstream analysis when using the reconstructed cells over default 8 μm bins on mouse brain and human colorectal cancer data. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Bin2cell is available at https://github.com/Teichlab/bin2cell, along with documentation and usage examples, and can be installed from pip. Probe design functionality is available at https://github.com/Teichlab/gene2probe.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
