Abstract

Spatially resolved transcriptomics enables the examination of gene expression within the natural tissue setting. We’re witnessing a surge in tool development for subsequent analyses, alongside the rise of datasets commonly used to assess new tool quality. Despite this, there’s a gap in a community-led, ongoing assessment of spatially resolved transcriptomics tools. A recent Nature article underscores the importance of remedying this through benchmarking facilitated by OpenEBench and OMNIBENCHMARK platforms. These platforms offer a structure for organizing computational tools and reference datasets, aiming for adaptability as new computational methods arise.
