Merged summary

TL;DR - Benchmarking spatial transcriptomics clustering tools is undermined by reproducibility, data, and evaluation limitations. Combining computational consensus with expert histology and cell-biology feedback can produce evaluations more faithful to multiscale biology and accelerate discovery.

  • Spatial clustering benchmarks often lack reproducibility and suitable data.
  • Existing evaluation strategies may not capture biology across spatial scales.
  • Computational consensus alone is insufficient to overcome these limitations.
  • Domain-expert feedback provides biological context for more reliable assessment.
