Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics
Abstract
SPARTA poses two graph structural operators on one spatial graph: a source–sink minimum cut for migrating immune cells and a screened diffusion–absorption field for a molecular-sized in silico probe, with calibrated surrogate tests, patient-level inference and structural null models. Release v2.2.2 accompanies the manuscript submitted to Interdisciplinary Sciences: Computational Life Sciences and contains the complete source code, configuration files, unit tests, per-spot node tables and graph files for 30 public sections (GEO GSE144239, GSE250636; 10x Genomics public Visium datasets; the melanoma lymph-node data of Thrane et al. 2018), every per-section and per-core result file (including the validation against CODEX images of Schürch et al. 2020) and the scripts that regenerate all figures and manuscript numbers. Raw expression matrices and images are not redistributed; they are available from their original sources. Outputs are model-defined summaries, not measurements of antibody exposure, T-cell migration or treatment response.
The results are packaged in the Greenfield Startup Model (GSM), which explains the priority of startups to release the product as quickly as possible, and the need to shorten time-to-market, by speeding up the development through low-precision engineering activities.

The application of agile software methods and more recently the integration of Lean practices contribute to the trend of continuous improvement in the software industry. One such area warranting proper empirical evidence is a project’s operational efficiency when using the Kanban method. This short paper takes a new an...
