However, integrating these diverse and large-scale spatial multimodal datasets remains a major computational challenge. We present SCIGMA, a scalable and generalizable deep learning framework for spatial multiomics integration. SCIGMA introduces an uncertainty-aware contrastive learning objective and multiview graph neural networks to preserve modality-specific signals while learning biologically meaningful joint representations. Unlike previous methods, SCIGMA provides spatially resolved uncertainty estimates, interpretably identifying regions of biological or technical heterogeneity. SCIGMA supports integration of up to five modalities, and its modular framework is extensible to future technologies with even more modalities. It also scales to more than 1 million spatial locations, enabling analysis of high-resolution datasets such as Visium HD and Xenium Prime. We evaluated SCIGMA across 19 datasets spanning 8 modalities, 10 tissues and 9 platforms. On benchmarkable datasets, SCIGMA outperformed other methods in spatial domain detection, modality preservation, feature reconstruction and reproducibility. SCIGMA identifies biologically meaningful structures, refined spatial domains and modality-specific regulatory programs, providing a robust, flexible and future-ready solution for scalable spatial multimodal integration.</p>","PeriodicalId":18985,"journal":{"name":"Nature genetics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":25.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148888043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, enhancer activity is, in fact, inversely correlated with linear genomic distance, and target gene expression and transcriptional precision decrease with increasing enhancer-promoter linear distances.
