Since diagnostic specimens retrieved from pathology cannot be altered (except for sectioning) for ethicolegal reasons, we describe a method that combines multiple patient specimens, cut from individual blocks, allowing the measurement of several tissues in one capture array. This results in a cost-effective means to increase sample size to permit statistically robust data outputs and to fast-track clinical implementation. Importantly, our tissue multiplexing method is compatible with the standard 10X Genomics supported protocols. We have used skin biopsies in this instance as this is our primary area of research, but this method can be extended to any tissue of interest.

"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.
