Spatial transcriptomics techniques are booming! It is now possible to identify where RNAs are located within a tissue! At the LCI facility, we routinely image samples labelled with RNAscope. If you use RNAscope, you might be interested in this workshop where you will learn how to label thick samples with RNAscope, and this symposium about automated RNAscope.
Additionally, we can now offer the 10x Genomics Visium technology on the South Campus, as a collaboration between 4 core facilities in Flemingsberg: LCI, FENO, SICOF and BEA core facilities!
Here is the workflow:
- We discuss your project and advise you for the preparation of your sample.
- You cut your sample and optimize the antibody or H/E staining yourself, under the guidance if the LCI staff to best preserve the RNAs.
- You image your tissue sections at the LCI facility.
- You transfer your section to SICOF who tags the RNAs and amplifies the library, using the 10x Genomics Visium technology.
- The library goes to BEA for sequencing.
- Section size: max 6.5×6.5 mm or max 11×11 mm
- Human or mouse
- Paraffin-embedded or fresh-frozen
- Labelled with H/E or fluorescent antibodies
