Spatial transcriptomics, a cutting-edge technique within the realm of RNA sequencing, revolutionizes our understanding of gene expression by adding a crucial layer of information: location. Unlike traditional RNA sequencing, which analyzes gene expression in bulk or from isolated cells, spatial transcriptomics preserves the spatial context of RNA transcripts within intact tissues. This allows researchers to visualize how gene activity varies across different regions of a tissue, revealing intricate patterns and interactions that would otherwise be missed.
