The phrase “DNA barcoding” can be applied to several methods of using unique DNA sequences for identification purposes. Sometimes known as “molecular barcoding,” DNA barcoding describes the use of unique…

Cell counters, also known as cell sorters, are instruments that separate and count specific cells of interest using characteristic properties of those cells. The original cell counters, known as Coulter…

The word “gene” refers not only to the actual physical DNA that codes the gene itself, but also to all related downstream events, including gene expression, gene regulation, and gene…

NanoString catalyzed the spatial biology revolution in 2019 with the launch of the GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP), but did you know that the beginnings of this nascent field go…

One of the interesting hallmarks of celebrating the start of a new year is the consumption of special foods. For example, in the American South Hoppin’ John, or black-eyed peas,…

In an extraordinary team effort led by the Center for Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School, in collaboration with NanoString, scientist Will Hwang and colleagues used integrated spatial multiomic and…

Pancreatic cancer represents 3% of the overall cancers in America and yet is responsible for 7% of all cancer deaths. The five-year relative survival rate – the cancer-related death rate…

What is Spatial Multiomics? Spatial multiomics describe the ability to locate and quantify DNA, RNA, and protein in the three-dimensional space of a tissue. Decades of research have built a…

Spatial biology is changing the way we view biology. Advancements in spatial biology are now enabling us to compartmentalize a tissue in terms of cells, tissue structure, or disease state.…

Is spatial transcriptomics single-cell resolution? Yes. Recent advances in the field of spatial transcriptomics have made it possible to visualize RNA transcripts at the resolution of a single-cell and, in…
