Orchestrating Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis with Bioconductor

2025

Abstract

Spatial transcriptomics technologies provide spatially-resolved measurements of gene expression through assays that can either target selected genes or capture transcriptome-wide expression profiles. The complexity and variability of these technologies and their associated data necessitate multi-step workflows integrating diverse computational methods and software packages. We provide a freely accessible, open-source, continuously updated and tested online book containing reproducible code examples, datasets, and discussion about data analysis workflows for spatial omics data using Bioconductor in R, including interoperability with Python.

Gene expression

Gene expression is the process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce end products, proteins or non-coding RNA, and ultimately affect a phenotype. These products are often proteins, but in non-protein-coding genes such as transfer RNA (tRNA) and small nuclear RNA (snRNA), the product is a functional non-coding RNA.

Serial analysis of gene expression

Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is a transcriptomic technique used by molecular biologists to produce a snapshot of the messenger RNA population in a sample of interest in the form of small tags that correspond to fragments of those transcripts. Several variants have been developed since, most notably a more robust version, LongSAGE, RL-SAGE and the most recent SuperSAGE. Many of these have improved the technique with the capture of longer tags, enabling more confident identification of a source gene.

Transcriptomics technologies

Transcriptomics technologies are the techniques used to study an organism's transcriptome, the sum of all of its RNA transcripts. The information content of an organism is recorded in the DNA of its genome and expressed through transcription. Here, mRNA serves as a transient intermediary molecule in the information network, whilst non-coding RNAs perform additional diverse functions. A transcriptome captures a snapshot in time of the total transcripts present in a cell.
