Tissue tearing degrades optimal-transport and diffeomorphic registration of spatial transcriptomics beyond displacement magnitude: a multi-seed deformation benchmark and a supervised graph cross-attention proof-of-concept
2026-07-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Three-dimensional reconstruction from serial spatial-transcriptomics (ST) sections requires registering adjacent slices, but physical sectioning introduces tears — discontinuous, non-isometric deformations. Leading methods rely on priors that tears strain: PASTE/PASTE2 use Fused Gromov–Wasserstein optimal transport (OT), which assumes near-isometric preservation of within-slice distances, whil...
