Good company, good science, and a great time! youtube.com/watch?v=5XjL6H…

Wonderful @EMBO #spatialomics meeting at Rome. Listened to many amazing talks and met so many experts in the field. Thanks Pankaj Trivedi and organizers!

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

By topically applying a common food dye that strongly absorbs light to a live mouse, researchers were able to turn its tissues transparent, allowing them a look into the blood vessels of the scalp, the movement of organs laying under the skin of the abdomen, and tiny contractile units of muscle at work.

Pleased to share our new Research highlights article, which summarizes some of the core features and applications of the BANKSY spatial omics algo. Viewable via: rdcu.be/dH1mz ! Thanks @NigelChouS @NatureRevGenet @shyam_lab @khchenlab @astar_gis!

Looking forward to meetings.embo.org/event/24-spati… #EMBOspatialOmics

1. BANKSY is out! go.nature.com/4bUR200 Our spatial clustering algo applies to any spatial RNA/protein/... assay, scales to 2M cells, detects both cell typing and spatial domains and facilitates spatial batch correction. 🧵 👇
