Fig. 2

a, b Sensitivity of spatial gene expression measurements. Mean number of unique molecules detected (y axis) at different proportions of annotated reads (x axis) in a SM-Omics (blue, n = 3) and ST (red, n = 3) and b SM-Omics (blue, n = 3) and Visium (green, n = 3). Shaded areas: 95% confidence intervals. Colored line: mean of summarized library values (n = 3) per condition. c Performance of automated spatial library preparation reactions. Impact of ligation reaction times and adapter concentrations on quantitative concentrations (Cq) values for automated prepared libraries (n = 9). Cq values were measured at Fluorescent unit 10,000. Statistical significance (two-sided Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test) markings are displayed: 0.05 < p ≤ 1 (ns), 0.001 < p ≤ 0.01 (**), 0.0001 < p ≤ 0.001 (***). Center black line, median; color-coded box, interquartile range; error bars, 1.5x interquartile range; black dots; outliers. Individual reaction conditions are detailed in Methods. d, e Spatial gene expression. d Examples of SM-Omics spatial gene expression patterns (normalized expression shown in color scale) detected in each of the major histological regions in the MOB of an adult mouse brain and e corresponding in situ hybridization images from ABA (Image credit: Allen Institute for Brain Science, Methods) for the same genes as in d with illustrated and highlighted region annotation patterns. Annotated region abbreviations: GL (glomerular layer), GR (granular cell layer), MI (mitral layer), OPL (outer plexiform layer) and ONL (olfactory nerve layer).
