Description

Yujia Zhang and co-authors map tumor change across space in 2025. Tumors vary from spot to spot, and that variety drives their evolution. Copy number changes, where DNA chunks are gained or lost, mark that variety. Tools borrowed from single cell work ignore where cells sit, which loses the map.

Their framework uses a graph neural network with attention layers. It learns from gene activity plus neighbor layout to infer copy changes at each spot. Multi omics features join into one spatial map of tumor variety. A fuller map can show how clones spread and where resistance may brew.
