CoMo, a graph-based cross-modal graph contrastive learning framework, achieves superior spatial domain identification across five spatial omics datasets by integrating spatial transcriptome, proteome, and epigenome.
- Why it matters: Spatial multi-omics integration is limited because modality-specific technical biases and biological complexity hinder integrated interpretation beyond single-modality spatial transcriptomics.
- What they did: CoMo uses cross-attention for multi-modal feature learning and dual optimization with neighbor-aware contrastive loss for cross-omics fusion plus cluster-aware contrastive loss for spatially coherent domain identification.
- The result: Across five spatial omics datasets, CoMo outperforms state-of-the-art methods for spatial domain identification, enabling more robust tissue characterization via synergistic feature learning.
