Scientists have attempted to understand how cells work by studying the tiniest of details and understanding how each cell works in larger biological systems.
Technologies that allowed scientists to see detail at the nano-level could not provide similar insight for a wider field of vision.
With the development of BGI Group’s Stereo-seq technology, scientists no longer have to conduct thousands and even tens of thousands of experiments to create a coherent spatiotemporal map of biological systems they are studying.
In fact, they now only need to conduct just one.
