About Spatial Transcriptomics, now Visium

What is Spatial Tr

Spatial transcriptomics allows visualization and quantitative analysis of the transcriptome with spatial resolution in individual tissue sections.

By positioning histological sections on arrayed reverse transcription primers with unique positional barcodes, we demonstrate high-quality RNA-sequencing data with maintained two-dimensional positional information from the mouse brain and human breast cancer. Spatial transcriptomics provides quantitative gene expression data and visualization of the distribution of mRNAs within tissue sections and enables novel types of bioinformatics analyses, valuable in research and diagnostics.
