103 results about "Cell type" patented technology

A cell type is a classification used to distinguish between morphologically or phenotypically distinct cell forms within a species. A multicellular organism may contain a number of widely differing and specialized cell types, such as muscle cells and skin cells in humans, that differ both in appearance and function yet are genetically identical. Cells are able to be of the same genotype, but different cell type due to the differential regulation of the genes they contain. Classification of a specific cell type is often done through the use of microscopy (such as those from the cluster of differentiation family that are commonly used for this purpose in immunology). Recent developments in single cell RNA sequencing facilitated classification of cell types based on shared gene expression patterns. This has led to the discovery of many new cell types in e.g. mouse cortex, hippocampus, dorsal root ganglion and spinal cord.

Single-cell spatial annotation method fusing images and sequencing data

PendingCN122177246AImage analysisProteomicsMembrane cellTranscriptome Sequencing
This invention discloses a single-cell spatial annotation method that integrates image and sequencing data. It obtains candidate cue point locations, cell nucleus instance segmentation masks, and cell nucleus type probability vectors by processing full-field H&E stained tissue images. It also obtains a preprocessed spatial transcriptome raw sequencing matrix and corresponding cell type labels by processing the raw spatial transcriptome sequencing matrix. Each capture site and its corresponding integrated data structure are constructed. Based on rigid constraints on the number of cells allocated to each type within each capture site and main type quota constraints, the main type annotation is written. For cells in the intercapture zone, one or more neighboring capture sites with existing annotation results are found. The main type and cell subtype of the intercapture zone cells are inferred through morphological feature similarity calculation, thus obtaining the annotation result. This solves the problem that existing technologies cannot determine the exact type of each cell in ST-sequencing tissue.
