Recently, scientists have been able to explore gene circuitry in individual cells using methods that suppress particular genes and measure the impact on the expression of other genes. These methods, however, fail to capture spatial information such as the effects from, or on, neighboring cells, which can provide important clues to a cell or gene’s role in health and disease.
