Spatial transcriptomics is a groundbreaking molecular profiling method that enables scientists to measure gene activity in a tissue sample and map where the activity is occurring. Visium Spatial Gene Expression spatially resolves gene expression by mapping the whole transcriptome with morphological context in entire formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE), fixed frozen, or fresh frozen tissues to discover novel insights into normal development, disease pathology, and clinical translational research.
This guide serves as a roadmap to help you design your Visium Spatial Gene Expression experiments, optimize experimental parameters, and identify appropriate computational/analytical tools to examine your spatial gene expression data.
