Programme:

BGI STOmics is a pioneer in advancing spatially-resolved transcriptomic analysis through its proprietary Stereo-seq (SpaTial Enhanced REsolution Omics-Sequencing) technology. Built on DNA Nanoball (DNB) technology, Stereo-seq offers researchers a novel tool to explore spatial biology with unprecedented field-of-view and resolution. Stereo-seq has been applied to many cutting-edge research projects worldwide. The initial results of these projects have been published in world’s leading multidisciplinary science such as Cell, Nature, and Science.

China National GeneBank DataBase (CNGBdb) is a unified platform built for biological big data sharing and application services to the research community. As a biological data repository, CNGBdb has archived ~9 PB biological data (e.g sequencing data and assemblies), and millions of website visits every year.  Codeplot and Spatial Transcript Omics DataBase (STOmicsDB) are two essential parts of CNGBdb. CODEPLOT is a flexible computing platform, which allows users to analyse biological data without a programming background. STOmicsDB is a comprehensive portal curated and visualized >100 public spatial transcriptomic datasets. To facilitate users’ publication in the spatial transcriptomics field, STOmicsDB provides the spatial transcriptomic data archive and customed visualization of archived data.

This introductory tutorial will cover the introduction of STOmics and CNGBdb, including global adoptions, tools, databases and cutting-edge research projects.
