A wave of spatial transcriptomics studies has produced gene-expression atlases that span entire organs and whole organisms, from mouse embryos to the roundworm C. elegans to 31 human tissues. These ...

Spatial ribonucleic acid (RNA) transcriptomics measures gene expression while preserving each molecule’s coordinates in intact tissue, tying transcripts to histology and local microenvironments.

Fei Chen and Chenlei Hu at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have developed a new imaging-free spatial transcriptomics technology that tracks the diffusion of DNA barcodes between beads in an ...

Spatial biology is a rapidly advancing discipline that examines biological molecules (such as DNA, RNA, and proteins) within their native locations in tissues. This approach offers critical insight ...
