Cell Typing

Ligands Co-localization Identify Rare Cell Type in Human Brain: Sst Chodl neurons

Unsupervised clustering is performed on the correlation matrix of ligands’ neighborhood expression profiles to identify clusters of co-localized ligands. One ligand cluster consists of 3 ligands, SST, NPY, CORT, and shows strong correlation in their neighborhood expression profiles. The co-expression of those 3 ligands identify a rare cell type, Sst Chodl interneurons, in the dataset.

High-plex imaging of RNA and proteins at subcellular resolution in fixed tissue by spatial molecular imaging

Resolving the spatial distribution of RNA and protein in tissues at subcellular resolution is a challenge in the field of spatial biology. We describe spatial molecular imaging, a system that measures RNAs and proteins in intact biological samples at subcellular resolution by performing multiple cycles of nucleic acid hybridization of fluorescent molecular barcodes.
