Attribute: Visium Slide Version

Valid Value Description Ontology
V1 10x Genomics Visium Spatial Gene Expression slide, version 1 (the original, manually placed Visium slide format), with capture areas measuring 6.5mm x 6.5mm containing 4,992 spatially barcoded spots each. EFO:0022857
V2 10x Genomics Visium slide, version 2, compatible with the Visium CytAssist instrument for automated tissue transfer from a standard glass slide; available with capture areas of 6.5mm x 6.5mm or 11mm x 11mm. EFO:0022858
V3 A later generation of the 10x Genomics Visium slide, succeeding versions 1 and 2 in this model's slide-version series. 10x Genomics has not published a distinct 'V3' Visium slide specification in public ontology sources, so exact design differences from earlier versions are not documented here.Not available
V4 The most recent generation of the 10x Genomics Visium slide referenced in this model, succeeding versions 1 through 3. 10x Genomics has not published a distinct 'V4' Visium slide specification in public ontology sources, so exact design differences from earlier versions are not documented here.

Valid Value Description Ontology
cDNA Single-stranded DNA that is complementary to messenger RNA or DNA that has been synthesized from messenger RNA by reverse transcriptase. NCIT:C324
Spatial Barcode and UMIA sequencing read that contains the spatial barcode and unique molecular identifier (UMI) sequences used to assign reads to their spatial location and de-duplicate transcript counts.Not available

Attribute: Visium Spatial Library Construction Method

Valid Value Description Ontology
Smart-seq2 Switching mechanism at the 5' end of RNA templates (SMART)-based library construction method; Smart-seq2 transcriptome libraries have improved detection, coverage, and accuracy compared to the original Smart-seq method, and are generated with off-the-shelf reagents at lower cost. EFO:0008931
Smart-SeqV4 Single-cell RNA-seq library construction method using SMART (Switching Mechanism At 5' end of RNA Template) chemistry to generate high-quality cDNA from ultra-low amounts of total RNA or directly from intact cells (<1,000 cells); improves on Smart-seq2 via locked nucleic acid (LNA) technology and an optimized template-switching oligo.EFO:0700016
10xV1.0 First version (v1) of the 10x Genomics droplet-based single-cell 3' library construction chemistry, in which barcoded gel beads and cells are co-encapsulated in nanoliter droplets for parallel barcoding of transcripts. EFO:0009901
10xV1.1 Minor revision (v1.1) of the first-generation 10x Genomics single-cell 3' library construction chemistry; specific chemistry differences from v1.0 are not documented in public ontology sources. Not available
10xV2 Second version (v2) of the 10x Genomics droplet-based single-cell 3' library construction chemistry, in which the poly(dT) sequence is part of the gel bead oligo (along with the cell barcode and UMI) and the template-switch oligo is supplied in the RT primer. EFO:0009899
10xV3 Third version (v3) of the 10x Genomics droplet-based single-cell 3' library construction chemistry. EFO:0009922
