also, thanks to
@marekbartosovic
and
@PKukanja
from
@GoCasteloBranco
for their enthusiasm and critical contribution to making this work much more impactful and revealing really new biological insights!
put into a bigger context "spatial epigenomics" unlocked by this paper and another one "spatial-CUT&Tag" we published earlier in
@Science
. They are the foundational tools to put "spatial epigenomics" in the center stage of
#spatialomics
#spatialbiology
spatial-ATAC-seq shown in this
@nature
paper for the first time allows for spatially resolved unbiased genome-wide mapping of epigenetic cell state defined by accessible chromatin, potentially a new tool to identify cell types and build tissue atlases.
