Abstract Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides details for individual cells; however, crucial spatial information is often lost. We present SpaOTsc, a method relying on structured optimal transport to recover properties of scRNA-seq data by utilizing measurements relatively small number genes. A metric cells in first established based map connecting it with the measurements. The cell–cell communications are then obtained “optimally transporting” signal senders target receivers space. Using partial decomposition, we next compute intercellular gene–gene flow estimate regulations between genes across cells. Four datasets employed cross-validation gene expression prediction and comparison known communications. SpaOTsc has broader applications, both integrating non-spatial single-cell data, directly transcriptomics reconstruct cellular dynamics tissues.

The frizzled (fz) and dishevelled (dsh) genes are highly conserved members of both the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway Wnt signaling pathway. Given these dual functions, several studies have examined whether ligands provide a tissue-scale orientation cue for PCP establishment during development, reached differing conclusions. Here, we re-examine this issue in Drosophila melanogaster wing notum using split-Gal4 co-expression analysis, multiplex somatic CRISPR, double RNAi experiments. Pairwise loss-of-function experiments targeting wg together with other genes, via CRISPR or RNAi, do not produce defects notum. In addition, against evi (aka wntless), which is required secretion ligands, did detectable phenotypes. Altogether, our results support hypothesis that contribute to
