Patent Wars in Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics: What Happened in August? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
August brought 3 significant developments in the patent disputes shaping the single-cell and spatial transcriptomics landscape.10x Genomics vs. Parse Biosciences (QIAGEN)On August 19, 2026, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit supported the invalidation of three 10x Genomics (10x) patents challenged by Parse Biosciences (Parse).The patents concern methods fo

If you’ve been working in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) for a few years, you’ve probably noticed something.The first generation of high-throughput scRNA-seq kits were typically called 3′ Gene Expression kits.Then newer products started appearing under a different marketing label:Whole Transcriptome.And that created some confusion.I’ve had researchers ask me questions like:“…these new whole transcriptome kits detect non-polyadenylated transcripts, right?”or:<p

September is here, and it’s time to reactivate The Single-Cell World! ❤️Last week, during a meeting, I heard some researchers say:“We can already do spatial transcriptomics without expensive technology or lab experiments.”My immediate thought: I wish we could.When I asked how, the answer was simply: “With AI.”That wasn’t exactly convincing for me. 😅 So I went digging.And I found some cool deep-learning approaches that might explain where this idea comes from. But th

👋 Life UpdateHi everyone,The past few weeks have been incredibly busy. Between interviews, a new job offer, and preparing for a big move, I haven’t had much time to write ✍️ or keep up with everything happening in the single-cell and spatial biology world.The biggest news is that, in September, I’ll be joining IRB Barcelona as Head of the Advanced Genomic Technologies Core Facility.
