Gene Expression Research and Digital Spatial Profiling
Thursday, April 2, 2020
The University of Michigan Advanced Genomics Core and NanoString will host a Gene Expression Research and Digital Spatial Profiling seminar on Thursday, April 2nd.
Please join us to learn about NanoString’s enzyme-free, multi-analyte quantification platforms! The nCounter® Analysis System accelerates your research with both custom and curated quantitative mRNA and miRNA panels.
The new GeoMX™ Digital Spatial Profiler combines these quantitative techniques with spatial immunofluorescence to perform highly multiplexed, spatially resolved profiling experiments for RNA and protein.
What is Digital Spatial Profiling?
Digital Spatial Profiling is based on the nCounter® barcoding technology that enables spatially resolved, digital characterization of proteins or mRNA in a highly multiplexed (current 1,800 plex) assay. The assay relies upon antibody or RNA probes coupled to photocleavable oligonucleotide tags. After hybridization of probes to slide-mounted formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections, the oligonucleotide tags are released from discrete regions of the tissue via UV exposure. Released tags are quantitated in a standard nCounter assay, and counts are mapped back to tissue location, yielding a spatially-resolved digital profile of analyte abundance.
