Spatial transcriptomics analysis — Visium, MERFISH, seqFISH, Slide-seq. Maps gene expression to tissue architecture, identifies spatially variable genes (SVGs), tissue-domain segmentation, and cell-cell interaction inference. Use for spatial gene-expression questions, tissue architecture analysis, and SVG identification.

# Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis

Comprehensive analysis of spatially-resolved transcriptomics data to understand gene expression patterns in tissue architecture context. Combines expression profiling with spatial coordinates to reveal tissue organization, cell-cell interactions, and spatially variable genes.

## LOOK UP, DON'T GUESS
When uncertain about any scientific fact, SEARCH databases first rather than reasoning from memory. A database-verified answer is always more reliable than a guess.

## When to Use This Skill

**Triggers**:
- User has spatial transcriptomics data (Visium, MERFISH, seqFISH, etc.)
- User has *only* an H&E histology image and no spatial assay at all -- `DeepSpotM_predict_gene_expression` (local model, no API/key) predicts spatial gene expression for a 224x224 H&E tile directly, a virtual readout when no real spatial data exists yet. Treat its output as a model prediction to guide follow-up (e.g. which region to actually assay), not a substitute for the platforms above when real spatial data is the goal.
- Questions about tissue architecture or spatial organization
- Spatial gene expression pattern analysis
