We developed an imaging-free spatial genomics technology where DNA barcodes diffuse to connect locally. Using UMAP, we reconstructed the physical locations of these barcodes, transforming spatial transcriptomics into purely molecular biology.

How do genetic perturbations change cells? How are these effects shaped by cell type and dosage? How do we best extract insight from modern massive perturbation atlases? Im pleased to share a new preprint where we develop a suite of statistical approaches to these Qs (link below)
I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Department of Genetics at Trinity College Dublin (@tcdgenmicro) in summer 2024! My lab will build and apply new tools to understand the formation and function of microglia states in brain health and disease.

Slide-tags unifies the single cell + spatial genomics worlds. It solves three key problems with existing spatial methods:
1) Cell segmentation (the biggest problem)
2) robustness and scalability (well-powered case-control studies now possible)
3) Multiomics (ATAC, RNA, etc)

Single-cell or spatial?
Our new technology - Slide-tags - allows both in the same experiment, enabling true single-cell multi-modal spatial genomics

Example uses of braincelldata.org:
1) label transfer your sc data to ours. Get cell type assignments and spatial positions. 2) Find genes or cell types enriched in a region. 3) Retrieve the minimal set of genes needed to define a cell type uniquely (ie for FISH).
