Abstract
Mutual nearest neighbors (MNN) is a widely used computational tool to perform batch correction for single-cell RNA-sequencing data. However, in applications such as spatial transcriptomics, it fails to take into account the 2D spatial information.;Here, we present spatialMNN, an algorithm that integrates multiple spatial transcriptomic samples and identifies spatial domains. Our approach begins by building a k-nearest neighbors (kNN) graph based on the spatial coordinates, prunes noisy edges, and identifies niches to act as anchor points for each sample. Next, we construct a MNN graph across the samples to identify similar niches. Finally, the spatialMNN graph can be partitioned using existing algorithms, such as the Louvain algorithm to predict spatial domains across the tissue samples. We demonstrate the performance of spatialMNN using large datasets, including one with N = 31 10x Genomics Visium samples. We also evaluate the computing performance of spatialMNN to other popular spatial clustering methods.;Our software package is available on GitHub (https://github.com/Pixel-Dream/spatialMNN). The code is available on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15073963).
