NanoString displays CosMx SMI at 4th Annual Spatial Genomics Summit NanoString Technologies has announced the commercial unveiling of the CosMx spatial molecular imager (SMI) to occur at the fourth annual virtual Spatial Genomics Summit. CosMx SMI is a spatial multi-omics solution enabling rapid quantification and visualization of up to 1,000 RNA and 100 validated protein analytes at single-cell and subcellular resolution of intact formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded and fresh frozen tissue samples.Read More
Machine vision advances single-cell sequencing for small samples The ability to sequence RNA in single cells has given scientists an unprecedented level of resolution in studying rare cell types. However, current approaches are designed to deal with a large number of cells, making it difficult to work with small samples. New research, published in Nature Methods on February 14, has described a technique using machine vision to detect cells and make single-cell RNA sequencing more efficient at a smaller scale.Read More
