Integrating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) with spatial transcriptomics is crucial for understanding cellular communication within tissues. This review explores methods to combine these powerful techniques for comprehensive biological insights.

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) reveals cellular heterogeneity but lacks spatial context.
  • In situ techniques like high-plex RNA imaging and spatial barcoding offer spatial information but limited transcriptomic scope.
  • A gap exists in comprehensively analyzing both cellular identity and spatial organization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current strategies for integrating scRNA-seq with spatial transcriptomics.
  • To highlight emerging computational methods for data integration.
  • To propose effective approaches for combining single-cell and spatial data.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on spatial transcriptomics and scRNA-seq integration.
