Andrew Moorman and other members of @danapeer.bsky.social's lab helped carry out a rigorous assessment based on various 10x Xenium data sets with bespoke segmentation stainings, providing the ground truth to demonstrate segger's superior performance.

Segger is a super fast graph neural network algorithm, which makes cell segmentation much more reliable and faster.

Spatial transcriptomics holds great promise to understand biological tissue function, but the assignment of transcripts to cells has been a substantial bottleneck.

For this reason, Elyas Heidari, a student in my lab and in @steglelab.bsky.social built segger.
