10X Genomics obtained fresh frozen mouse olfactory bulb tissue from BioIVT. The tissue was embedded and cryosectioned as described in Visium Spatial Protocols – Tissue Preparation Guide Demonstrated Protocol (CG000240). Tissue sections of 10µm were placed on Visium Gene Expression slides, then fixed and stained following Methanol Fixation, H&E Staining & Imaging for Visium Spatial Protocols (CG000160).

  • Sex: Male
  • Age: >8 weeks
  • Strain: C57BL/6
  • Section Orientation: Coronal

The H&E image was acquired using a Hamamatsu NanoZoomer S60 digital slide scanner with the following settings:

  • Brightfield camera
  • 20X objective

The Visium Gene Expression library was prepared as described in the Visium Spatial Reagent Kits User Guide (CG000239 Rev D). Sequencing data was processed using Space Ranger.

  • Sequencing instrument: Illumina NovaSeq 6000, flow cell HCCN5DSX2 (lanes 1-4)
  • Sequencing depth: 39,560 mean reads per cell
  • Sequencing configuration: Paired-end (28 X 90), Dual-Indexed Sequencing. Read 1: 28 cycles (16 bp barcode, 12 bp UMI); i7 index: 10 cycles; i5 index: 10 cycles; Read 2: 90 cycles (transcript).
  • Dual-Index set: T1T2-A9
  • Slide: V10N30-322
  • Area: A1

Key metrics were:

  • Spots detected under tissue: 1,185
  • Median genes per spot: 4,790
  • Median UMI counts per spot: 16,029
