Spatially resolved transcriptomics was named Method of the Year 20201 and has continued to evolve rapidly since then, providing novel insights in development, physiology, and disease processes. Many approaches now offer excellent performance in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue, opening up a wealth of archived clinical samples to these high-throughput spatial biology modalities. In this Chapter, we introduce a methodology to apply 10x Xenium In Situ to FFPE tissue microarrays. Using this method we have achieved a cost-effective approach to profile hundreds of genes with subcellular resolution in over a hundred human liver samples. Our method can easily be adapted to other tumour types, diseases, or model systems.
