[0040] In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features of the embodiments may be combined with each other.
[0041] Embodiment 1
[0042] This embodiment discloses a spatial domain identification method based on spatial multi-omics technology of heterogeneous graph, comprising the following steps:
[0043] S1: Gene expression data preprocessing: including data reading, data screening and regularization processing to obtain the gene expression matrix of each cell .
[0044] S2: Utilization of tissue image feature extraction Models such as these are used to extract the image information of each cell using spatial omics technology, including spatial position, gene expression, and histological images.
[0045] S3: Constructing the adjacency matrix ,include:
[0046] Constructing image-based multi-omics graph relationships (image perspective), , that is, forming an image icon.
[0047] Constructing gene-based multi-omics graph relationships (gene perspective), , that is, forming an expression graph.
[0048] Constructing multi-omics graph relationships based on spatial information (spatial perspective), , that is, forming a spatial graph.
[0049] S4: Building a multi-view graph encoder: generating A graph encoding convolutional encoder is used to obtain spatial omics embeddings from different perspectives. .
[0050] S5: Constructing heterogeneous graphs based on attention mechanism: Using attention mechanism, fusion , and obtain The weight of the perspective .
[0051] Fusion of multiple perspectives to construct spatially heterogeneous maps and multimodal joint embedding .
[0052] S6: Calculate joint probability density and the empirical probability density , with the help of the autoencoder clustering loss DEC (DeepEmbedded Clustering) training model, multi-omics spatial domain information is obtained.
[0053] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 1 As shown, including:
[0054] Regarding step S1: gene expression data preprocessing.
[0055] Obtain spatial omics data, delete genes and mitochondrial genes with expression levels less than three cells, reduce interference during analysis, and help focus on the main transcriptome activities in cells. Then, regularize the gene expression data and take the logarithm. Finally, screen 3,000 highly expressed genes to obtain gene expression data. , used as input for extracting graph encoding features in S4.
[0056] It should be noted that spatial omics data provide a more comprehensive perspective by combining gene expression data information with its spatial distribution in tissues.
[0057] In this step, genes with expression levels less than three cells may be noise or background signals and have no biological significance. Removing these genes can improve data quality and reduce interference during analysis; mitochondrial genes are often related to the health status and stress response of cells and may mask other important biological information in cells. Removing these genes helps focus on the main transcriptome activities in cells.
[0058] S2 Tissue image feature extraction.
[0059] Using spatial location information, the tissue image of spatial omics data obtained by searching the public database is divided into multiple sub-images according to the number of cells. Each cell corresponds to a sub-image, which can more accurately analyze the characteristics of each cell and facilitate the capture of the subtle structure and characteristics inside the cell. For data that are not measured by tissue image sequencing technology, such as Merfish, this step is skipped. In the same slice, given cells The two-dimensional space coordinates of . Indicates cells, a total of cells, Indicates The two-dimensional spatial coordinates of each cell.
[0060] In the above steps, by dividing the tissue image into multiple sub-images, the characteristics of each cell can be analyzed more accurately; the sub-images at the cell level provide higher resolution, making it easier to capture the subtle structures and characteristics inside the cells.
[0061] In the images of high-expressing tissues, centered The pixel area is used as the image data corresponding to each cell , select a suitable feature extractor, such as the Spatial-Transformer Network (STN) model, to extract feature representations from image data ,improving the accuracy and efficiency of the overall analysis, the extracted feature representation is subsequently used in S3 to build image-viewpoint-based distance calculations.
[0062] The above feature extractor can convert high-dimensional image data into low-dimensional feature representation, simplify the data, and facilitate subsequent analysis and processing; by extracting feature representation, the accuracy and efficiency of the overall analysis can be improved.
[0063] S3 builds adjacency matrix .
[0064] In this step, since the relationship between cells depends not only on spatial position, but also on multiple aspects of information such as gene expression and image features, these multi-dimensional information can be comprehensively considered by constructing adjacency matrices from different perspectives; multi-perspective adjacency matrices can provide a more comprehensive description of cell relationships and improve the accuracy and robustness of the analysis.
[0065] Construct distance calculation based on image and gene perspective: Calculate the cosine distance of the image between two cells based on the extracted features to construct image-based distance calculation. Cosine distance formula:
[0066]
[0067] in represents the dot product of vectors, and Represents vectors and The Jaccard distance formula is used to construct the distance calculation based on the gene perspective:
[0068]
[0069] in, Representing a collection and The size of the intersection of Representing a collection and The size of the union of .
[0070] Construct an adjacency distance calculation based on a spatial perspective: Calculate the distance between two cells based on the position information, that is, the Euclidean distance.
[0071]
[0072] The calculation based on Euclidean distance can accurately describe the spatial distribution and relationship of cells.
[0073] Constructing adjacency matrices from different perspectives: When constructing the adjacency matrix, it is expected that cells with similar distances have greater weights, and cells with farther distances have smaller weights. Therefore, the adjacency matrix is as follows. The multi-perspective adjacency matrix can provide a more comprehensive description of cell relationships and improve the accuracy and robustness of the analysis.
[0074]
[0075] Introduced Hyperparameters, set the degree to which the adjacency matrix is clustered toward the diagonal, and finally obtain all the adjacency matrices , is the number of viewing angles.
[0076] The relationship between cells depends not only on spatial position, but also on multiple aspects of information such as gene expression and image features. By constructing adjacency matrices from different perspectives, these multi-dimensional information can be comprehensively considered; multi-perspective adjacency matrices can provide a more comprehensive description of cell relationships and improve the accuracy and robustness of the analysis.
[0077] S4 builds a multi-view image encoder.
[0078] A set of graph encoders (GAE) is constructed for each view. Each set of graph encoders contains two layers of GCN. The adjacency matrix constructed under different viewpoints is and gene expression data , we can get the graph encoding features from different perspectives of each spatial omics data , each set of potential features is shown below, making the feature representation of the node richer and more diverse. The attention mechanism is then used to calculate the graph encoding features The weights and potential features of each perspective in .
[0079] Each perspective provides different information. By constructing a multi-perspective graph encoder, cell features can be extracted from multiple dimensions to fully reflect the diversity of cells. The features extracted by each layer of GCN integrate the information of neighboring nodes, making the feature representation of the nodes richer and more diverse.
[0080]
[0081] Indicates The graph encoding feature of the layer is a matrix with the same size as the input feature matrix; It is the adjacency matrix after preprocessing the input adjacency matrix, usually adding a self-loop operation so that each node is connected to itself; yes The degree matrix is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are the degrees of each node. Indicates The graph encoding feature of the layer is the output of the previous layer; Indicates Layer to The weight matrix of the layer is a learnable parameter matrix; Represents the activation function, commonly used ones include ReLU, Sigmoid, etc.
[0082] Finally, we get spatial omics embedding from different perspectives. .
[0083] S5 constructs heterogeneous graphs based on the attention mechanism, which is specifically manifested in constructing the adjacency matrix of the heterogeneous graph network.
[0084] A heterogeneous graph combines information from multiple perspectives (genes, images, space, etc.) to construct a graph structure that comprehensively reflects the relationship between cells.
[0085] Here, the attention mechanism is used to calculate the weight and potential features of each perspective, and the weight of each perspective is used to calculate the adjacency matrix of the heterogeneous graph network.
[0086]
[0087]
[0088] Then calculate the adjacency matrix of the heterogeneous graph network:
[0089]
[0090] Adding the potential features from multiple perspectives is the joint potential feature of all perspectives By combining potential features, we can comprehensively consider this information, improve the comprehensiveness of feature representation, enhance the expressiveness of features, and make them better reflect the complex relationship between cells. This is then used in S6 to calculate the similarity between data representation and cluster center vector.
[0091] Each perspective provides different types of information. By combining potential features, we can comprehensively consider this information and improve the comprehensiveness of feature representation. Adding information from different perspectives can enhance the expressive power of features and enable them to better reflect the complex relationships between cells.
[0092] S6: Calculate joint probability density and the empirical probability density .
[0093] Q is the empirical probability density, which represents the current similarity distribution between data points and cluster centers. It provides an estimate of the current data distribution and is used to guide the clustering process. is the joint probability density function, which represents the expected similarity distribution. It is the corrected target distribution and guides the model optimization so that the distribution of data points is more consistent with the expected clustering structure.
[0094] Using Student's T distribution as the kernel function, calculate the data representation and cluster center vector The similarity between
[0095]
[0096] in, It can be initialized by K-means algorithm.
[0097] Then calculate the target distribution
[0098]
[0099] The objective function of self-supervision is defined as Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence loss, that is,
[0100]
[0101] The S7 model trains and identifies spatial domains, achieving spatial region division of different cell types.
[0102] Finally, the loss function The optimizer is passed in for iterative optimization, and the optimizer selects the Adam optimizer.
[0103] The spatial multi-omics data is put into the S4 multi-view encoder model to calculate the The specific calculation process is S6, and the cell label is obtained through the softmax activation function to finally identify the cell type. The Adam optimizer has the advantages of fast convergence and robustness, which can effectively optimize the model parameters and improve the training effect; through the softmax activation function, the model can accurately identify the cell type and is suitable for tasks such as cell clustering.
[0104] By minimizing the KL divergence loss, the model performs adaptive optimization in an unsupervised environment, enhancing the model's self-supervised learning ability. Using the Adam optimizer, which has the advantages of fast convergence and robustness, can effectively optimize model parameters and improve training results. Through the softmax activation function, the model can accurately identify cell types and is suitable for tasks such as cell classification and clustering.
[0105] The sub-technical solution of this embodiment comprehensively analyzes spatial omics data from multiple perspectives, including building multi-omics graph relationships using images, genes, and spatial information, and fusing multiple perspective information through graph convolution encoders and attention mechanisms, ultimately achieving efficient recognition and analysis of multi-omics spatial domain information. This method provides new tools and perspectives for in-depth understanding of the spatial functional relationship between cells, and is expected to play an important role in biomedical research.
