Spatial Transcriptomics
What is spatial gene expression? Spatial gene expression examines transcriptional dynamics through the lens of location within tissue and/or transcriptional dynamics between unique cells within a tissue. With spatial gene…
Multi-omics Spatial Analysis
Why is spatial genomics important?
Why is spatial genomics important? Spatial genomics is important because the human body is a complex three-dimensional structure. That structure is an important part of our molecular physiology. To fully…
