Abstract	Genomics methods have uncovered patterns in a range of biological systems, but obscure important aspects of cell behavior: the shapes, relative locations, movement, and interactions of cells in space. Spatial technologies that collect genomic or epigenomic data while preserving spatial information have begun to overcome these limitations. These new data promise a deeper understanding of the factors that affect cellular behavior, and in particular the ability to directly test existing theories about cell state and variation in the context of morphology, location, motility, and signaling that could not be tested before. Rapid advancements in resolution, ease-of-use, and scale of spatial genomics technologies to address these questions also require an updated toolkit of statistical methods with which to interrogate these data. We present a framework to respond to this new avenue of research: four open biological questions that can now be answered using spatial genomics data paired with methods for analysis. We outline spatial data modalities for each open question that may yield specific insights, discuss how conflicting theories may be tested by comparing the data to conceptual models of biological behavior, and highlight statistical and machine learning-based tools that may prove particularly helpful to recover biological understanding.
