Spatial Transcriptomics for OCT using 10x Genomics Visium
Andrew Houston, Siqi Chen, Feng Chen
Abstract
To detect gene expression spatially mapped across a fresh-frozen tissue sample adapted from 10x Genomics Visium protocol.
Steps
Visium Fresh-Frozen
RNA extraction and assessment is outlined in the above guide but not always necessary
Most OCT blocks have preserved RNA quality well due to their preservation/storage
Perform all fixation/H&E staining/imaging steps on the Visium Spatial Gene Expression Slide (PN-2000233)
Utilize the guide here
Typically it is not necessary to utilize a coverslip while imaging
Immediately proceed to the Visium Library Construction
Start on pg. 35 using this guide here
Sequence the libraries according to the requirements on pg. 59 of CG000239
