Spatial transcriptomics, or spatially resolved transcriptomics, is a method that captures positional context of transcriptional activity within intact tissue. [1] The historical precursor to spatial transcriptomics is in situ hybridization, [2] where the modernized omics terminology refers to the measurement of all the mRNA in a cell rather than select RNA targets.
The Tissue [1] section of the Human Protein Atlas focuses on the expression profiles in human tissues of genes both on the mRNA and protein level. The protein expression data from 44 normal human tissue types is derived from antibody-based protein profiling using conventional and multiplex immunohistochemistry .
This method can be used for the co-mapping mRNA and protein levels at a near single-cell resolution in fresh or frozen formaldehyde-fixed tissue samples. DBiT-seq utilizes next generation sequencing (NGS) and microfluidics. This method allows for simultaneous spatial transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of a tissue sample.
NanoString's research tools are based on the nCounter Analysis System, which is a modification of the DNA microarray technology. [11] The nCounter system allows for the simultaneous profiling of hundreds of genes, proteins, miRNAs, or copy number variations with high sensitivity and precision, using molecular barcodes and microscopic imaging in a hybridization reaction.
The purpose of using RNA FISH is to detect target mRNA transcripts in cells, tissue sections, or even whole-mounts. [10] The process is done in 3 main procedures: tissue preparation (pre-hybridization), hybridization, and washing (post-hybridization). The tissue preparation starts by collecting the appropriate tissue sections to perform RNA FISH.
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a technique used in mass spectrometry to visualize the spatial distribution of molecules, as biomarkers, metabolites, peptides or proteins by their molecular masses. After collecting a mass spectrum at one spot, the sample is moved to reach another region, and so on, until the entire sample is scanned.
