1495-Whole-Transcriptome Isoform-Resolved Spatial Imaging
The research introducing RT&T-AMP-MERFISH describes a breakthrough in spatial transcriptomics by enabling the simultaneous imaging of approximately 33,000 distinct RNAs at single-cell resolution. This method utilizes an in situ RNA amplification technique to overcome the limitations of traditional imaging, allowing for the detection of short sequences and isoform-specific variations across the mouse brain. By mapping these transcripts, researchers identified complex gene modules and cell-cell communication patterns that correspond to specific anatomical regions. The data reveals how different…
