On March 31, 2026, William Blair upgraded 10x Genomics from “Market Perform” to “Outperform,” highlighting its best-in-class genomics platforms and exposure to growing demand for large-scale ...

The Spatial Analysis Lab (the SAL) is a mapping lab dedicated to thoughtful and creative spatial data collection, analysis, and visualization. We strive to promote spatial literacy and spatial justice ...

Tumors contain many different types of cells organized in complex spatial patterns that can influence how the disease progresses. Because of this, it is hard to predict how a tumor will develop and ...

Spatial transcriptomics is a cutting-edge technique that characterizes gene expression within sections of tissue, such as heart, skin or liver tissue. These snapshots provide insights into how spatial ...

Foundation models (FMs), which are deep learning models pretrained on large-scale data and applied to diverse downstream ...

Capturing spatial information is essential to elucidate how cells function and interact within their native tissue environment. However, the initial spatial transcriptomics techniques have several ...

This figure shows how the STAIG framework can successfully identify spatial domains by integrating image processing and contrastive learning to analyze spatial transcriptomics data effectively.

A series of announcements in recent weeks shows just how much the spatial biology field has matured in the years since Nature Methods recognized spatial biology—which it called spatially resolved ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

Knowing the location of a gene within intact tissue or a single cell allows scientists to unlock unknown cellular functions. This information is often lost in most genetic sequencing techniques, but ...
