Visium

Visium is a cutting-edge technology developed by 10x Genomics that allows scientists to study the detailed structure of tissues by mapping gene activity within specific locations. It combines high-resolution imaging with gene sequencing to identify which genes are active in different parts of a tissue sample, such as a tumor or organ. This spatial information helps researchers understand complex biological processes and disease mechanisms more precisely, leading to better diagnostics and targeted treatments. Essentially, Visium offers a way to see not just which genes are present, but exactly where they are active within tissues.
