Spatial transcriptomics experiments greatly benefit from brighter signals that improve detection efficiency and shorten imaging times. Here, we introduce a new enzyme-free signal amplification method inspired by the kinetic proofreading principle, in which short oligonucleotide probes are iteratively deposited at their target site and covalently photo-crosslinked to the cell, forming highly stable DNA assemblies. The method results in more than 500-fold signal amplification and supports multiplex readout capabilities.

"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.
