Several technologies facilitate the integration of histology and genomics, including:
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Allows detailed analysis of genomic data which can be correlated with histological findings. Digital Pathology: Involves the acquisition, management, and interpretation of pathology information in a digital environment, making it easier to integrate with genomic data. Spatial Transcriptomics: Provides spatial context to gene expression data, allowing researchers to map gene activity within histological sections. Single-Cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-seq): Allows for the analysis of gene expression at the single-cell level, providing insight into the cellular composition of tissues.
