Subcellular Level Spatial Transcriptomics with PHOTON.

ABSTRACT: The subcellular localization of RNA is closely linked to its function. Many RNA species are partitioned into organelles and other subcellular compartments for storage, processing, translation, or degradation. Thus, capturing the subcellular spatial distribution of RNA would directly contribute to the understanding of RNA functions and regulation. Here, we present PHOTON (Photoselection of Transcriptome over Nanoscale), a method which combines high resolution imaging with high throughput sequencing to achieve spatial transcriptome profiling at subcellular resolution. We demonstrate PHOTON as a versatile tool to accurately capture the transcriptome of target cell types in situ at the tissue level such as granulosa cells in the ovary, as well as RNA content within subcellular compartme
