Abstract
Coordinated changes in gene expression, epigenetic regulation, protein and metabolic activities together drive disease progression and determine clinical outcomes. While spatially resolved transcriptomics has been widely adopted across biomedical fields, it offers an incomplete picture limited to transcriptomic levels. Here, we survey the latest developments in spatial multiomics technologies, with particular emphasis on platforms that extend beyond conventional transcriptomics and profile genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, or metabolomics within intact tissues. These approaches are rapidly becoming commercialized, and here we highlight major technical breakthroughs, enhanced sample compatibility, emerging applications, and computational tools for data analysis. This Review aims to equip researchers with a clear understanding of the current technological landscape and to accelerate the adoption of spatial multiomics methods in biomedical research.

Having trouble reading a PDF?
PDFs are designed to be printed out and read, but if you prefer to read them online, you may find it easier if you increase the view size to 125%.
Having trouble saving a PDF?
Many versions of the free Acrobat Reader do not allow Save. You must instead save the PDF from the JCI Online page you downloaded it from. PC users: Right-click on the Download link and choose the option that says something like "Save Link As...". Mac users should hold the mouse button down on the link to get these same options.
Having trouble printing a PDF?
- Try printing one page at a time or to a newer printer.
- Try saving the file to disk before printing rather than opening it "on the fly." This requires that you configure your browser to "Save" rather than "Launch Application" for the file type "application/pdf", and can usually be done in the "Helper Applications" options.
- Make sure you are using the latest version of Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
