DNA Microarrays

DNA Microarrays

Microarrays are high-throughput and relatively inexpensive assays that can be automated to analyze large quantities of data at a time. They are used in genome-wide studies to compare gene or protein expression under two varied conditions, such as healthy and diseased states. Microarrays consist of glass or silica slides on which probe molecules are covalently attached through surface functionalization. Most commonly, the slides are prepared through the chemisorption of silanes to silica...

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome Profiling

Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
The technique...

Background:

Cell-to-cell communication is vital for tissue homeostasis.
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) provides gene expression data but loses spatial context.
Dissociating cells for scRNA-seq results in lost positional information.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current spatial transcriptomics technologies.
To highlight methods that preserve positional information.
To discuss advancements in understanding tissue architecture-dependent cellular functions.

Main Methods:

Integration of imaging with positional barcoding.
Combining mechanical dissociation with scRNA-seq.
Computational spatial re-mapping techniques.

Main Results:

Spatial transcriptomics enables gene-expression analysis within native tissue context.
New technologies overcome dissociation-induced loss of positional data.
These methods reveal tissue architecture-dependent cellular functions.

Conclusions:

Spatial transcriptomics is crucial for understanding cellular functions in their native environment.
Advancements in technology are improving the accuracy and scope of spatial gene expression analysis.
This field offers new insights into tissue organization and homeostasis.
