Profiling cellular heterogeneity in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues is key to characterizing clinical specimens for biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and drug responses. Here, we optimize methods for isolating intact nuclei and single nucleus RNA-Seq from FFPE tissues in the mouse brain, and demonstrate a pilot application to a human clinical specimen of lung adenocarcinoma. Our method opens the way to broad applications of snRNA-Seq to archival tissues, including clinical samples.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
