Abstract:
Localized detection of RNA in a tissue sample that includes cells is accomplished on an array. The array include a number of features on a substrate. Each feature includes a different capture probe immobilized such that the capture probe has a free 3′ end. Each feature occupies a distinct position on the array and has an area of less than about 1 mm2. Each capture probe is a nucleic acid molecule, which includes a positional domain including a nucleotide sequence unique to a particular feature, and a capture domain including a nucleotide sequence complementary to the RNA to be detected. The capture domain can be at a position 3′ of the positional domain.
Abstract:
A method for spatially tagging nucleic acids of a biological specimen, including steps of (a) providing a solid support comprising different nucleic acid probes that are randomly located on the solid support, wherein the different nucleic acid probes each includes a barcode sequence that differs from the barcode sequence of other randomly located probes on the solid support; (b) performing a nucleic acid detection reaction on the solid support to locate the barcode sequences on the solid support; (c) contacting a biological specimen with the solid support that has the randomly located probes; (d) hybridizing the randomly located probes to target nucleic acids from portions of the biological specimen; and (e) modifying the randomly located probes that are hybridized to the target nucleic acids, thereby producing modified probes that include the barcode sequences and a target specific modification, thereby spatially tagging the nucleic acids of the biological specimen.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and products for localized or spatial detection and/or analysis of RNA in a tissue sample or a portion thereof, comprising: (a) providing an object substrate on which at least one species of capture probe, comprising a capture domain, is directly or indirectly immobilized such that the probes are oriented to have a free 3′ end to enable said probe to function as a reverse transcriptase (RT) primer; (b) contacting said substrate with a tissue sample and allowing RNA of the tissue sample to hybridize to the capture probes; (c) generating cDNA molecules from the captured RNA molecules using said capture probes as RT primers; (d) labelling the cDNA molecules generated in step (c), wherein said labelling step may be contemporaneous with, or subsequent to, said generating step; (e) detecting a signal from the labelled cDNA molecules; and optionally (f) imaging the tissue sample, wherein the tissue sample is imaged before or after step (c).
