Spatial genomics could be the next step in the evolution of scientific breakthroughs. The gene analysis method is almost a “unifying theory,” said Terry Lo, CEO of Cambridge, Mass.-based Vizgen — the combination of microscopy, genomics and sequencing provides a “new capability to understand the underlying biology” of a disease in a way that’s never been available before. In other words, it allows for greater understanding of a cell’s genomic properties within the context of biology.
