Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
High-dimensional, spatially resolved analysis of intact tissue samples promises to transform biomedical research and diagnostics, but existing spatial omics technologies are costly and labor-intensive. We present Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization of Cellular HeterogeneIty and gene expression Programs (FISHnCHIPs) for highly sensitive in situ profiling of cell types and gene expression programs. FISHnCHIPs achieves this by simultaneously imaging similar to 2-35 co-expressed genes (clustered into modules) that are spatially co-localized in tissues, resulting in similar spatial information as single-gene Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH), but with similar to 2-20-fold higher sensitivity. Using FISHnCHIPs, we image up to 53 modules from the mouse kidney and mouse brain, and demonstrate high-speed, large field-of-view profiling of a whole tissue section. FISHnCHIPs also reveals spatially restricted localizations of cancer-associated fibroblasts in a human colorectal cancer biopsy. Overall, FISHnCHIPs enables fast, robust, and scalable cell typing of tissues with normal physiology or undergoing pathogenesis.
