Sequencing of RNA (RNASeq) can provide a trove of useful information for quantification and characterization of the transcriptome. During bulk sequencing, however, spatial and cellular heterogeneity information is lost. Enter single-cell–level analysis, which can provide unprecedented detail on cellular diversity in development, health, and disease. This emerging area of spatial transcriptomics aims to map a single-cell–level molecular atlas of human tissues in situ. However, mapping entire tissue areas at single-cell quantitative resolution presents significant challenges for imaging and data analysis. In this webinar, efforts to develop large-scale in situ transcriptomics will be described, using the mouse brain as a model system for mapping the molecular diversity of neuronal and glial cell types. The experimental workflow includes automated tissue processing, imaging and analysis for large-scale multiplex mapping, and quantification of gene expression across brain regions in situ at single-cell resolution. The technology that makes this high-resolution mapping possible will be described and compared with other current methods.
