However, current analysis methods for ST data do not use image pixel information, thus missing the quantitative links between gene expression and tissue morphology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We developed a user-friendly deep learning software, SpaCell, to integrate millions of pixel intensity values with thousands of gene expression measurements from spatially barcoded spots in a tissue. We show the integration approach outperforms the use of gene-count data alone or imaging data alone to build deep learning models to identify cell types or predict labels of tissue images with high resolution and accuracy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The SpaCell package is open source under an MIT licence and it is available at https:\/\/github.com\/BiomedicalMachineLearning\/SpaCell.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btz914","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,4]],"date-time":"2019-12-04T07:11:06Z","timestamp":1575443466000},"page":"2293-2294","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":79,"title":["SpaCell: integrating tissue morphology and spatial gene expression to predict disease cells"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Xiao","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Genetics and Genomics, Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland , Brisbane 4072, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Genetics and Genomics, Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland , Brisbane 4072, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minh","family":"Tran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Genetics and Genomics, Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland , Brisbane 4072, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7870-5703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Quan","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Genetics and Genomics, Institute for Molecular Bioscience, The University of Queensland , Brisbane 4072, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023062300072997900_btz914-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2419","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-018-04724-5","article-title":"Spatial maps of prostate cancer transcriptomes reveal an unexplored landscape of heterogeneity","volume":"9","author":"Berglund","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat.
