While single-cell RNA sequencing offers deep molecular detail, it requires dissociating tissue, thereby destroying the crucial spatial context of cells within their native environment. Spatial transcriptomics, a pivotal new development in gene expression analysis, solves this fundamental problem. This technology allows researchers to measure the activity of genes directly within a tissue...

As transcriptomics moves into the core of clinical decision-making, the definition of a "usable sample" has become significantly more stringent. In 2026, the Transcriptomics Market Key Manufacturers are not only providing sequencers but also integrated "Gatekeeper Software" that automatically flags samples failing to meet pre-defined quality thresholds. This shift is essential because the high...
