Researchers have developed CellxPert, a novel multimodal foundation model designed to unify and analyze single-cell and spatial multi-omics data. This model integrates various data types including transcriptomic, chromatin-accessibility, and proteomic measurements, along with spatial imaging data. CellxPert offers capabilities for cell-type annotation, efficient fine-tuning, and predicting genome-wide transcriptomic responses to in-silico perturbations using a Markov-chain sampling method to ensure biological interpretability.
