A technology developed at University of Michigan called Seq-Scope revolutionized the ability to map gene activity within intact tissue at microscopic resolution, enabling researchers to measure all expressed mRNA molecules and determine precisely where they are located within the tissue, using an Illumina sequencer machine. The team behind the Seq-Scope method has recently taken the technology even further. Their findings are described in Nature Communications.
