Exciting work from EMBL Australia group leader William Roman & team at ARMI!

They’ve developed a new imaging-based spatial transcriptomics platform that maps gene expression within cells & tissues - for a fraction of the usual cost.

Great eg of accessible tech coming out of the EMBLA community.

ARMI @armilabs.bsky.social · Jun 24

The Roman Group has developed a low-cost, imaging-based spatial transcriptomics platform (~$30/exp) that maps where genes are active in tissues with single-molecule resolution. Ideal for targeted studies in development, cancer, and non-model organisms. Now open to collaborations!
