Organ tissue consists of trillions of cells with various functions, all of which contain the same DNA in their nuclei. Gene expression occurs when molecules, called \u2018messenger RNA<\/a>\u2019 (mRNA), carry signals from the nucleus to the rest of the cell, in order to direct its activities and define the function identity of every cell. RNA transcripts are obtainable through in situ sequencing, which shows millions of detected mRNA sequences as dots in microscope images of the tissue. Distinguishing all the important details may be difficult. This issue has prompted the team from Uppsala to develop an AI-based method of detecting new cell types and cell functions.<\/p>\n
