Abstract Spatial transcriptomics links gene expression with tissue morphology, however, current tools often prioritize genomic analysis, lacking integrated image interpretation. To address this, we present Thor, a comprehensive platform for cell-level analysis of spatial transcriptomics and histological images. Thor employs an anti-shrinking Markov diffusion method to infer single-cell spatial transcriptome from spot-level data, effectively combining gene expression and cell morphology.

The Gila River Indian Community recently publicized its plans for the next three years to conserve a large percentage of its water supplies. An announcement that was made in August indicating that the tribe was pulling out of all conservation efforts, has since been reversed. Now, the tribe is asking for compensation from a newly-introduced federal program designed to provide incentives for reduced water usage.

In 2019, 25% of Native Americans over the age of 25 had an associate degree or higher. When compared to 42% of all those over the age of 25, the gap is evident. Coupled with challenges that many Native higher education students face — including financial instability, the need for support in more ways than one is apparent.
