RNA-seq

RNA-seq

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.
Before the discovery of RNA-seq, microarray-based methods and Sanger sequencing were used for transcriptome analysis. However, while...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Background:

Sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics (sST) enables transcriptome-scale spatial gene expression measurement.
A lack of comprehensive benchmarking hinders standardized evaluation of diverse sST platforms and datasets.

Purpose of the Study:

To benchmark 11 sST methods using reference tissues with defined architectures.
To identify key factors influencing sST data quality and effective resolution.
To establish a framework for future sST method evaluation and computational tool development.

Main Methods:

Generation of sST data across 11 platforms using standardized reference tissues.
Analysis of molecular diffusion effects on effective resolution.
Comparison of sST data attributes against single-cell RNA sequencing.

Main Results:

Molecular diffusion significantly affects effective resolution across different sST methods and tissues.
sST data uniquely captures patterned rare cell states and specific markers, influenced by sequencing depth and resolution.
Variability across sST technologies necessitates standardized evaluation metrics.

Conclusions:

The study provides a framework for selecting sST platforms and developing standardized evaluation metrics.
Identified molecular diffusion as a critical factor impacting effective resolution in sST.
Highlights the unique advantages of sST in capturing complex spatial gene expression patterns and rare cell populations.
