Spatial Transcriptomics / STOmics

Spatial transcriptome sequencing enables comprehensive mapping of gene expression within the intact tissue architecture, preserving the morphological context of FFPE or frozen samples. We offer spatial profiling utilizing the 10X Genomics® Visium HD® platform and SpaTial Enhanced REsolution Omics-sequencing (Stereo-seq), providing whole-transcriptome coverage at high resolution to uncover cellular heterogeneity, tissue organization, and disease-specific microenvironments.

Together with our epigenetic and single-cell sequencing solutions, this integrated multi-omics approach empowers researchers to explore gene regulation across molecular dimensions, bridging spatial context with cell-type-specific resolution for a holistic understanding of complex biological systems.

Figure 1. Spatial quantification of gene expression in bins

Space Ranger is used to count the UMI for each gene on every bin, obtaining a bin-gene expression matrix for the sample. After performing data QC, the figure below shows the distribution of UMI per gene across the spatial regions of the tissue.

Figure 2. Clustering analysis presentation: spatial distribution, tSNE and UMAP

Cluster_Spatial: spatial distribution map of clusters; Cluster_tSNE: tSNE two-dimensional spatial representation map of clusters; Cluster_UMAP: UMAP two-dimensional spatial representation map of clusters

Figure 3. t-SNE and UMAP dimensionality reduction of differentially expressed genes

The top 4 differentially expressed genes of each cluster are displayed in several ways. The figure presents the t-SNE and UMAP dimensional reduction visualization of differentially expressed genes.
