From: spVC for the detection and interpretation of spatial gene expression variation
Application of spVC to the mouse testis dataset. A Pseudotime values of the observed spatial spots. B Relative expression levels of Lyar and Smcp. The read counts were normalized by library size, log-transformed, and then scaled by the min-max normalization to obtain the relative expression levels. C Five spot clusters identified based on the spatially varying effects (\(\gamma _1(\cdot ))\) of pseudotime inferred by spVC. D Distribution of pseudotime values within the five clusters shown in C. E: Eight spot clusters identified based on the observed gene expression levels. F Distribution of pseudotime values within the eight clusters shown in E. G Relative expression levels of Prm2 and Tnp1 within the five clusters shown in C. H Estimated spatially varying effects of Prm2 and Tnp1 within the five clusters shown in C
