10x Genomics obtained fresh frozen mouse brain tissue (Strain C57BL/6) from BioIVT Asterand. The tissue was embedded and cryosectioned as described in Visium Spatial Protocols - Tissue Preparation Guide Demonstrated Protocol (CG000240). Tissue sections of 10 µm thickness from a sagittal slice of the posterior were placed on Visium Gene Expression Slides.

  • Sex: Male
  • Age: >8 weeks
  • Strain: C57BL/6
  • Section Orientation: Sagittal Slice of the Posterior

The H&E image acquired using a Nikon Ti2-E microscope with the following settings:

  • Color camera
  • 10X objective
  • Numerical Aperture: 0.45
  • Exposure: 10 ms
  • Gain: 4.5X

The Visium Spatial Gene Expression library was prepared following the Visium Spatial Gene Expression Reagent Kits User Guide (CG000239). Sequencing data was processed using Space Ranger.
