Our experience with the multimodal seg is similar as yours- works great for many cell types or tissues, but not all.

Plus there can be contaminating transcripts on top.

Thank you! Yes, we believe segger has an edge over membrane-based segmentation because it also recognises the co-occurrence of transcripts. You can also use 10x multi-modal instead of nuclear segmentation as seggers input.

and also myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Back then, the implementation was very clunky and could only be done by R experts.

ebmstate now makes the inference much easier with only a few lines of code.

This type of model predicts a patient’s journey across several mid- and endpoints and relates the progression to hundreds of variables.

It was used to learn detailed prognostic models for acute myeloid leukaemia ..

A great thanks goes to all the other authors and contributors from the Gerstung, Stegle and Peer labs who made this work possible.

Andrew Moorman and other members of @danapeer.bsky.social's lab helped carry out a rigorous assessment based on various 10x Xenium data sets with bespoke segmentation stainings, providing the ground truth to demonstrate segger's superior performance.

Segger is a super fast graph neural network algorithm, which makes cell segmentation much more reliable and faster.

Amazing work. We‘re all walking laboratories for somatic evolution.

Safe travels! We’re still waiting for the snow you got yesterday to arrive but chances look slim. Probably better travel wise.

Thanks. Was on a bit of a social media hiatus, but this place looks like a new hope.
