Recent developments of spatial transcriptomic sequencing technologies provide powerful tools for understanding cells in the physical context of tissue microenvironments. A fundamental task in spatial gene expression analysis is to identify genes with spatially variable expression patterns, or spatially variable genes (SVgenes). Several computational methods have been developed for this task. Their high computational complexity limited their scalability to the latest and future large-scale spatial expression data.
