Abstract
Spatial transcriptomics relies on RNA quality, which is variable and dependent on sample handling, storage, and/or intrinsic factors. Here, authors present a genome-wide spatial gene expression profiling method called RNA Rescue Spatial Transcriptomics (RRST), designed for the analysis of moderate to low quality fresh frozen tissue samples and demonstrate its robustness on 7 different tissue types.
