What is spatial transcriptomics?

[Mahi Bashat]

I need a short explanation of what spatial transcriptomics is and its use.

Thank you.

Spatial transcriptomics is a method for assigning cell types (identified by the mRNA readouts) to their locations in the histological sections and can also be used to determine subcellular localization of mRNA molecules. First described in 2016 by Ståhl et al., it has since undergone a variety of improvements and modifications.
