Figure Lengend Snippet: Single-nucleus transcriptome and spatial transcriptomics landscape of the ileal tissue of SAP and CON group rats. (A) Schematic illustration of the workflow for this study. (B) Representative Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E)–stained ileal sections from CON and SAP rats. (C) UMAP plot of single-nucleus transcriptome profiles of SAP and CON group samples. Colors indicate groups, clusters and cell types. (D) Heatmap plot of marker genes for cell annotation. (E) Bar plot showing cell-type proportions (mean ± SEM) in snRNA-seq data. (F) Spatial transcriptomics profiles of SAP and CON group samples. Colors indicate cell types. (G) Bar plot showing cell-type proportions (mean ± SEM) in spatial transcriptomics (Stereo-seq) data. Statistical significance: ns, not significant; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: The spatial transcriptomics data were obtained according to the protocol of STOmics Gene Expression Set-S1 on the website ( https://www.stomics.tech/ ), which is an improved version of initial procedures.
Techniques: Spatial Transcriptomics, Staining, Marker
