Merged summary

TL;DR - This Nature Methods paper introduces Spl-ISO-Seq2, Spl-IsoQuant-2, and Spl-IsoFind for spatial isoform sequencing and analysis at single-cell resolution. Applied to mouse brain slices, the methods reveal cell-type-specific spatial variation in transcript isoforms.

  • Spl-ISO-Seq2 enables high-resolution spatial isoform sequencing.
  • Spl-IsoQuant-2 supports barcode calling at a scale exceeding 450 million barcodes.
  • Spl-IsoFind detects spatially variable isoforms across multiple brain cell types.
  • The workflow was demonstrated on mouse brain tissue slices.
