SPATNIC enables H&E-grounded cancer-cell identification across spatial and single-cell transcriptomic modalities in colorectal cancer

Tumors contain diverse non-cancer cells that constitute the tumor microenvironment; thus, identifying which cells are cancerous is a foundational and critical first step in cancer research. However, to our knowledge, no transcriptome-based classifier has been trained using pathologist-defined annotations from matched H...
