RNAscope technology enables the incorporation of spatial mapping and confirmation of gene signatures into single cell RNA sequencing workflows

14 Mar 2022

In this application note, the diverse cell types in the mouse striatum that have been previously identified by scRNA-seq were confirmed and spatially mapped using the RNAscopeTM Multiplex Fluorescent assay and the RNAscopeTM HiPlex assay. The major and minor gene signatures identified by scRNA-seq, including discrete D1 and D2 medium spiny neuron (MSN) subtypes, were confirmed.

Further cellular heterogeneity within the MSN subpopulations was marked by a transcriptional gradient, which was spatially resolved with the RNAscopeTM technology.

RNAscope™ Technology

Advanced Cell Diagnostics

Independent of your genes of interest, thes easy RNA in situ hybridization assays use common reagents and protocols; providing universal assay conditions. All RNA-ISH kits contain reagents in a convenient ready-to-use (RTU) format, and chromogenic dyes are available to interrogate a single or two genes simultaneously. Most versatile are the RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent Reagent Kits, enabling you to interrogate 1, 2 or 3 genes simultaneously.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
