Sumario:Spatial transcriptomics, which is capable of both measuring all gene activity in a tissue sample and mapping where this activity occurs, is vastly improving our understanding of biological processes and disease. The field has expanded rapidly in recent years, and the development of several new technologies has resulted in spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) becoming highly multiplexed, high-resolution, and high-throughput. Here, we summarize and compare the major methods of SRT, including imaging-based methods, sequencing-based methods, and in situ sequencing methods. We also highlight some typical applications of SRT in neuroscience, cancer biology, developmental biology, and hematology. Finally, we discuss future possibilities for improving spatially resolved transcriptomic methods and the expected applications of such methods, especially in the adult bone marrow, anticipating that new developments will unlock the full potential of spatially resolved multi-omics in both biological research and the clinic.
