Hi maintainers! We would also like to contribute Hotspot to the benchmark. It is a well-established method that we believe would complement the existing collection nicely.

Method Overview

Hotspot identifies spatially variable genes using local autocorrelation statistics on a nearest-neighbor graph constructed from spatial coordinates, with the DANB (depth-adjusted negative binomial) count model.

Reference: DeTomaso & Yosef, Cell Systems (2021)
Package: hotspotsc (pip-installable)
