snPATHO-seq: unlocking the FFPE archives for single nucleus RNA profiling [Visium]

FFPE tissue samples have long been considered challenging for sc-/sn-RNA sequencing assays. In this study, we developed a novel snRNA-seq workflow, snPATHO-seq, for FFPE tissue samples utilising isolated high-quality nuclei from FFPE samples and 10X Genomics FLEX chemistry. The snPATHO-seq demonstrated consistent performance with the established 10X Genomics 3' assay. In addition, it allows more accurate single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics integration with the FFPE Visium dataset generated from the same FFPE block. We envision this new protocol can facilitate the transcriptomic interpretation of millions of FFPE archives generated and simplify the sample collection process and data generation.

from sddb import Catalog

cohort = Catalog().collection("geo-gse268427")
cohort.members        # the 3 datasets as a table

print(cohort.licenses())              # check the terms before you download

sdatas = cohort.to_dict()             # {uid: SpatialData}, cached locally

Python · lamindb

Needs pip install lamindb and network access to the Lamin database, which is limited during the alpha. If it fails, use the Client tab.

import lamindb as ln

db = ln.DB("scverse/spatialdata-db")
coll = db.Collection.get(key="geo-gse268427")
coll.ordered_artifacts.to_dataframe()   # the 3 members, ordered

# download every member .zarr to the local cache:
paths = [a.cache() for a in coll.ordered_artifacts.all()]
Shell
# sddb client: download every member .zarr into data/
sddb-cli download --collection geo-gse268427 --dest data/
