Advancing sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics with a comprehensive benchmarking study

Nature Methods volume 21, pages 1589–1590 (2024)Cite this article

Subjects

A systematic comparison of 11 sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics methods reveals molecular diffusion as a critical variable that influences the effective resolution and data interpretation across platforms. Our benchmarking study should aid biologists in selecting the most appropriate method for their specific tissue.
