Project Summary/Abstract The PI holds a current NIGMS R35 research award 1R35GM147209 (Spatial genetics investigation of multinucleated cells). Under this award, the PI is requesting supplemental equipment funds that will be used to purchase MERSCOPE, the first and only commercial platform for Multiplexed Error-Robust Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (MERFISH) technology, which allows the simultaneous single-molecule imaging of hundreds of mRNA species in hundreds of thousands of cells. The MERSCOPE Platform also offers a suite of software tools and optimized reagents that streamline the whole experiment process from sample to high-quality spatial transcriptome data. It thus reduces human interventions and procedural errors. The MERSCOPE system will serve as the workhorse for the parent R35 project. The main goal of the funded R35 grant is to perform in-depth spatial investigations of the basic genetic mechanism operated in gigantic syncytial cells like myofibers. These unique cellular systems contain hundreds of nuclei and currently little is known about the interplay and coordination of gene expression programs in heavily multinucleated cells. This administrative supplement, if granted, will facilitate the purchase of a MERSCOPE Platform, which will serve a critical role in the success of the funded R35 project. The Institutional supports were acquired with funds ready to purchase service contracts throughout the life of the parent R35 project.

项目摘要/摘要 PI持有当前的NIGMS R35研究奖1R35GM147209（空间遗传学 研究多核细胞）。根据该奖项，PI要求补充 将用于购买Merscope的设备资金，这是第一个也是唯一的商业 多路复用误差荧光原位杂交（Merfish）技术的平台， 这允许同时对数百种mRNA物种的单分子成像 成千上万的细胞。 Merscope平台还提供了一套软件工具 并优化了简化从样本到高质量的整个实验过程的试剂 空间转录组数据。因此，它减少了人类干预和程序错误。这 Merscope系统将作为父级R35项目的主力。主要目标 资助的R35赠款是对基本遗传机制进行深入的空间研究 在像肌纤维这样的巨大合成细胞中操作。这些独特的蜂窝系统包含 关于基因的相互作用和协调，数百个核和目前知之甚少 大量多核细胞中的表达程序。该管理补充剂（如果被授予） 将有助于购买Merscope平台，该平台将在成功中发挥关键作用 资助的R35项目。该机构支持是用准备购买的资金而获得的 服务合同在父母R35项目的整个生命中。
