Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Simplified cross-section of the human epidermis, highlighting squamous cells, melanocytes and basal cells. Coloured regions represent cSCC (green), which originates from squamous cells, melanoma (orange), which originates from melanocytes, and BCC (blue), which originates from basal cells. Two orange melanocytes are shown in the dermal region as occurs in invasive melanoma; other cells in the lower dermis layer are not depicted. (b) Overview of sample design and technologies used to generate data for this project. ROI - region of interest; FOV - field of view; S - cSCC; B - BCC; M - melanoma; HC - healthy (cancer patient); HNC - healthy (non-cancer patient donor). Technologies included are single cell RNA sequencing for fresh samples, single nuclei sequencing for formalin-fixed samples, Visium, Xenium, CosMX, GeoMX DSP for whole transcriptome, GeoMX DSP for proteins, Polaris, RNAscope, the proximal ligation assay, spatial glycomics and CODEX.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Gene specificity score (GSS) and association of spatial spots with skin cancer heritability. GSS score for each gene in a spot/cell represents the enrichment of the gene as a top rank most abundant gene in the spot/cell and its neighbour spots/cells in an anatomical region, a spatial domain, or a cell type. The p-value shows the spatial heritability enrichment significance of a spot with a trait based on SNPs mapped to the genes with high GSS scores (one-sided Z-test for stratified coefficient different to 0). The p-value is more significant if the SNPs that are mapped to the high GSS genes explain a higher proportion of heritability for the trait. (b) Cell types with the highest enrichment of heritability explained by SNPs tagged to GSS genes of cells in a cell type. The white asterisks indicate the most enriched cell-type for heritability of cutaneous melanoma, cSCC and BCC traits. (c) gsMAP significance spatial heritability enrichment is shown at single-cell resolution across the tissue (upper tissue plots) or per annotated skin regions (lower violin plots) from the cosMx data of the sample mel48974. (d) LR pairs with significant association with SNP heritability explained by the corresponding cell types. The rectangles show cases where both L and R genes had PCC >0.3 between GSS of the gene and the gsMAP P-values (the significance level for the LD stratified coefficients for the spot bigger than 0). The results suggest which LR pairs are related with the heritability of a cell type pairs. (e) GSS of two LR pairs showing specificity of the L and R genes to tissue regions at the immune-rich dermal layers and the epidermis of the skin. (f) Manhattan plot showing top significant GWAS SNPs co-localizing with genes in melanocytes (red) and T cells (blue) that had the highest Pearson correlation between GSS and the gsMAP trait association P-value or associated with SNPs with genome-wide significance. The Y-axis shows the -log(P-value) from GWAS analysis.
