spatial

Despite great advances in RNA analysis, linking RNA data to its spatial context has long been a challenge, especially in intact 3D tissue volumes.

To the researchers' surprise, the spatial composition of the intestine -- the relative location of various cell types and the genes they express -- remained relatively stable when certain factors changed.

Nowadays, the hippocampus is recognized as a crucial region in the human brain, involved in memory formation and spatial navigation.

Using single-cell sequencing and spatial mapping, the researchers specifically investigated breast epithelial cells.

Using algorithms for spatial clustering, they identified locations where certain behaviours occurred more frequently.
