Materials and Methods:
Beads:
Bead barcodes were synthesized by the ChemGenes Corporation on one of two polystyrene supports
(Agilent PLRP-S-1000A 10 μm particles or 10 μm custom polystyrene from AMBiotech).
Oligonucleotide synthesis was performed as described for Drop-seq(1). Beads were used with one of the
two following sequences:
Sequence 1:
5’- PEG Linker- TTTT-PC-
GCCGGTAATACGACTCACTATAGGGCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTJJJJJJTCTTCAGCGTTC
CCGAGAJJJJJJJNNNNNNNNT30
Sequence 2:
5’- Linker-
TTTTTTTTCTACACGACGCTCTTCCGATCTJJJJJJJJTCTTCAGCGTTCCCGAGAJJJJJJJNNNNNN
NNT30
“PC” designates a photocleavable linker; “J” represents bases generated by split-pool barcoding, such that
every oligo on a given bead has the same J bases; “N” represents bases generated by mixing, so every
oligo on a given bead has different N bases; and “T30” represents a sequence of 30 thymidines.
Puck Preparation:
Pucks were prepared in batches of 20 to 30, which were then stored dehydrated at 4C. Glass coverslips
(Bioptechs, 40-1313-0319) were attached to a miniature centrifuge (USA Scientific 2621-0016) using
double sided tape. Subsequently, the coverslip was cleaned by spraying with 70% ethanol and wiping
with lens paper (VWR 52846-007). A spray-on silicone (Techspray 2102-12S) formulation was then
applied to the coverslip, the cover to the minifuge was closed, and the minifuge was turned on for 10
seconds to spin coat the silicone onto the glass. The minifuge was then turned off and the cover opened,
and liquid tape (Performix 24122000) was sprayed onto the coverslip. The minifuge was again closed and
turned on for 10 seconds. The coverslip was then carefully removed from the minifuge, and a gasket (3
mm diameter holes from Grace Biolabs, CW-50R-1.0) was placed on top of the coverslip and pressed
down. Beads were pelleted and washed twice in 500ul ultrapure water (Thermofisher, 10977015), and
resuspended to a final concentration of 100,000 beads/uL. 10 µl of bead solution was pipetted into each
position on the gasket. The coverslip-gasket filled with beads centrifuged at 40C, 850g for at least 30
minutes until the surface was dry.
The gasket was carefully removed from the dried coverslip. Gentle pipetting of water directly onto the
pelleted beads removed all beads except for those directly in contact with the liquid tape layer. The
resulting bead monolayer was allowed to dry, generating the final puck. Beads removed in this way
could be stored at 4C for later use. As much water was removed from the resulting pucks as possible, and
the pucks were left to dry.
Puck Sequencing:
Puck sequencing was performed using SOLiD chemistry in a Bioptechs FCS2 flow cell using a RP-1
peristaltic pump (Rainin), and a modular valve positioner (Hamilton MVP). Flow rates between 1mL/min
and 3mL/min were used during sequencing. Imaging was performed using a Nikon Eclipse Ti microscope
with a Yokogawa CSU-W1 confocal scanner unit and an Andor Zyla 4.2 Plus camera. Images were
acquired using a Nikon Plan Apo 10x/0.45 objective. After each ligation, images were acquired in the
following channels: 488nm excitation with a 525/36 emission filter (MVI, 77074803); 561nm excitation
with a 582/15 emission filter (MVI, FF01-582/15-25); 561nm excitation with a 624/40 emission filter
(MVI, FF01-624/40-25); and 647nm excitation with a 705/72 emission filter (MVI, 77074329). The final
stitched images were 6030 pixels by 6030 pixels.
Sequencing consisted of three steps: (1) primer hybridization; (2) ligation; and (3) stripping. During
primer hybridization, a primer was flowed into the flow cell at 5 µM concentration in 4x SSC for 20
minutes. Subsequently, the flow cell was washed in 3 mL of SOLiD buffer F. Following buffer F wash,
ligation mix (recipe below) was flowed into the chamber and allowed to sit for 20 minutes, before being
flowed back into its original reservoir. Ligation mix was reused for ~10 ligations before being
replenished. Following ligation, the flowcell was washed again in buffer F. Then, to cleave the
fluorophore off the ligated SOLiD oligo, we flowed 1.5 mL of SOLiD buffer C into the chamber,
followed by 1.5 mL of SOLiD buffer B, and repeated this cleave step once again. We then washed
the flowcell in buffer F and repeated the ligation step. After the second ligation step, 10 mL of
80% formamide in water was flowed into the flowcell and left for 10 minutes. The flowcell was then
washed in instrument buffer, and the process repeated with the next primer.
In order to sequence bead barcodes, we performed 2 ligations on each of 10 primers (Table S1), of which
6 were “constant” bases (i.e., the first ligation on a primer recessed by 2 or more nucleotides, which only
sequence the primer and thus contain no information about the barcode sequence). The final bead
barcodes were 14 bases long.
Each 3mm puck presented in this manuscript consists of roughly 70,000 beads, with a total cost of less
than $0.10. Moreover, roughly 250uL of SOLiD SR-75 sequencing oligo is required to sequence a batch
of 30 pucks. With other necessary reagents, each 3 mm puck requires roughly $10 of SOLiD sequencing
reagents. However, each 3mm puck also requires roughly 300 million reads, or ~$200-$500 worth of
sequencing using the Illumina Novaseq platform. Thus, the dominating cost of Slide-seq is the cost of
short-read sequencing.
Ligation mix:
1x T4 DNA Ligase Buffer (Enzymatics)
6 U/uL T4 DNA Ligase (Rapid) (Enzymatics)
40x dilution of SOLiD SR-75 sequencing oligo (Life Technologies).
SOLiD barcodes were then mapped to Illumina barcodes using a custom-built Matlab application that
identifies the pairwise distance between all members of the two sets of barcodes. Pairs of SOLiD and
Illumina barcodes were saved for further analysis if: (1) the two barcodes were separated by at most two
Levenshtein distance units; (2) there were at least 10 transcripts identified in Illumina sequencing with
that barcode; and (3) the mapping between the barcodes was unique, i.e. if there were no other barcodes at
equal or lower edit distance to either barcode.
Tissue Handling:
Fresh frozen tissue was warmed to -20 C in a cryostat (Leica CM3050S) for 20 minutes prior to handling.
Tissue was then mounted onto a cutting block with OCT and sliced at a 5° cutting angle at 10 µm
thickness. Pucks were then placed on the cutting stage and tissue was maneuvered onto the pucks. The
tissue was then melted onto the puck by moving the puck off the stage and placing a finger on the bottom
side of the glass. The puck was then removed from the cryostat and placed into a 1.5 mL eppendorf tube.
The sample library was then prepared as below. The remaining tissue was re-deposited at -80 C and
stored for processing at a later date.
Library preparation:
RNA Hybridization:
Pucks in 1.5 mL tubes were immersed in 200 µL of hybridization buffer (6x SSC with 2 U/µL Lucigen
NxGen RNAse inhibitor) for 15 minutes at room temperature to allow for binding of the RNA to the
oligos on the beads.
RT solution:
75 µL H2O
40 µL Maxima 5x RT Buffer (Thermofisher, EP0751)
40 µL 20% Ficoll PM-400 (Sigma, F4375-10G)

200 µL of 2x tissue digestion buffer was then added directly to the RT solution and the mixture was
incubated at 37C for 40 minutes.

Samples were cleaned with AMPURE XP (Beckman Coulter A63880) beads in accordance with
manufacturer’s instructions at a 0.6x bead/sample ratio (30 µL of beads to 50 µL of sample) and
resuspended in 10uL of water. Library quantification was performed using the Bioanalyzer. Finally, the
library concentration was normalized to 4nM for sequencing. Samples were sequenced on the Illumina
NovaSeq S2 flowcell with 12 samples per run (6 samples per lane) with the read structure 42 bases Read
1, 8 bases i7 index read, 50 bases Read 2. Each puck received approximately 200-400 million reads,
corresponding to 3,000-5,000 reads per bead.
Clustering Analysis:
For clustering of the pucks shown in Fig. 1C,D and S2, highly variable genes were identified by running
FindVariableGenes() in the Seurat package in R, using a y.cutoff of 0.7 in liver, 0.6 in kidney and
olfactory bulb, and 0.5 in hippocampus and cerebellum. For the hippocampus and cerebellum analyses,
variable genes identified from the published datasets from these tissues were also included. Non-negative
matrix factorization was performed using the NNLM package in R, on standardized, log-transformed
values, with a k of 8 in liver and kidney, 6 in olfactory bulb, 13 in cerebellum, and 20 in hippocampus.
For each bead, the largest factor loading from NMF after L2 normalization was used to assign cluster
membership.
To quantify the efficiency of mRNA capture, we compared the counts of these genes in Slide-seq,
scRNAseq and smFISH. FISH images were taken using a 40x 1.15 Nikon Plan Apo water immersion
objective. Two fields of view (FoV, 652 µm x 652 µm) were imaged across CA1 for each of the genes
tested (Slc17a7, Ociad2, Atp2b1) for each of the pucks for a total of six regions. Transcript counts for
smFISH data were obtained by using StarSearch (rajlab.seas.upenn.edu/StarSearch/). Slide-seq data from
the same FoV on the puck corresponding to the serial section was counted for the same marker genes
(Slc17a7, Ociad2, Atp2b1). Using the DAPI image for each of the FoV in CA1, we estimated the number
of cells present in the FoV. Finally, a random sample of CA1 neurons from Drop-seq was taken equal to
the number of cells present in the field of view and the sums for the three genes listed were taken across
all single cell barcodes. The result of the total counts is shown as a bar plot (Fig. S4E) highlighting the
differences in counts between the technologies.
To perform NMF on the single-cell data, highly variable genes were first selected as in (9), and NMF was
performed using a specified number of factors (see below). Each factor was then assigned to the cell type
whose cells from (9) most frequently had their largest loading on that factor. Next, for each Slide-
seq bead, we first computed the bead loadings in the basis using NNLS. The resulting matrix of factor
loadings (with dimensions of the number of beads by the number of factors) was scaled so each factor had
unit variance. Finally, the cell type of the bead was assigned based on the identity of the maximum factor
loading.
For the implementation of NMFreg in Figures 2B and 2C, an adult mouse single-cell cerebellum dataset
(9) was used to define the NMF basis, using a k (factor number) of 25. The published cluster identities
from this tissue were modified to remove clusters of cells outside of the Slide-seq-assayed anatomical
region (e.g., cells from midbrain not seen on the puck) and to reduce the number of subpopulations.
Specifically, all endothelial populations were merged together into one population, as were non-
Bergmann astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Interneurons not annotated as unipolar brush or Golgi
(clusters 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4)—which could not be assigned to a specific type in the published dataset—
were also grouped together. Only Slide-seq beads with more than 15 unique genes were used in NNLS
regression. For the implementation of NMFreg in Figure 2D, an adult hippocampus scRNA-seq dataset
(9) was used in NMF setting k to 30 with 5 variable gene cutoff for bead inclusion. The first-level
published cluster identities were used for bead assignment to cell types.
For the implementation of NMFreg in Figures 2D, 3 and 4, the data were processed using published
cerebellum (9) (Figure 3) or hippocampus (9) (Figures 2D, 4) datasets. In Figs. 2D, 3, and 4, Slide-seq
beads were used for NNLS regression if they had at least 5 variable genes. For Figure 4, hippocampus
cluster 13 was interpreted as marking mitosis.
Often, multiple cell types may be present on a bead. Thus, for the purpose of calculating the number of
cells of each type appearing on the puck, as in Fig. 2C and Fig. S7, we determined that a cell type was
present on a bead if the L2 norm of the vector of factor loadings for that cell type was at least half of the
L2 norm of the vector of all factor loadings for that bead. Fig. S7 shows the numbers plotted in Fig. 2C as
a function of this cutoff.
Confidence Thresholding:
The bead factor loadings returned by NMFreg are in general less pure than the factor loadings obtained
for single-cell sequencing data, possibly reflecting both the sparsity of the Slide-seq data and RNA
contributions of other adjacent cell types. In Fig. S8, in order to determine whether a given bead could be
confidently assigned to its highest contributing cell type, we computed a cell-type-specific, single-cell-
derived threshold. The threshold for a given cell type was the maximum loading of this cell type among
all single cells not assigned to this cell type in single cell atlas data. A bead was said to be confidently
assigned if the L2 norm of the vector of factors corresponding to that cell type exceeded the threshold.
This comparison was made after normalizing so that the sum of the L2 norms of the vector of factors for
each cell type would be equal to 1.
For Fig. S8A-E, we first performed NMFreg using only beads with at least 100 total transcripts. This
decreases the number of beads called by 72.6% +/- 13.7% (mean+/-std over 7 cerebellar pucks).
Interestingly, there was no relationship between the number of UMIs per bead and the confidence score of
the bead (Fig. S8F). Note that for the computation in Fig. S8F, NMFreg was performed on all bijectively
mapped beads, which must have at least 10 transcripts.
The diameter of Slide-seq beads is 10 µm (original feature size). For the analysis in Fig. S8A-D, in an
attempt to investigate the importance of the size of the features, we generated larger beads in silico,
selecting artificial feature sizes of 20, 40, and 100 µm. Aggregate array features were performed by
taking bead centroid locations obtained through SOLiD sequencing and forming a grid of defined size
over the locations of the beads and aggregating beads within each region of the grid and treating the
resulting data as a single bead.
Robustness of NMFreg:
To evaluate the robustness of the NMFreg cell type assignments, we calculated a consistency metric (Fig.
S6B,C) by running NMFreg for 30 values of k (the number of factors) between 18 and 48, or for 30
different random seeds. For each Slide-seq bead, the consistency was then defined as the fraction of
NMFreg runs on which the bead was assigned to the most common cell type across conditions tested.
These results were plotted as a cumulative distribution function of the consistency score per bead.
Density Plots:
For the density plot images in Fig. 2E, 3 (black backgrounds), 4 (black backgrounds), S9E,F, S11A,C,F,G
and S12, we formed an image as follows. Each point P in the 6030 x 6030 images was assigned an
intensity equal to the sum of the intensities of all beads with centroids lying within 44-pixel square
centered on P. For 4B,C, each bead assigned to the indicated NMFreg cluster was assigned a unit
intensity, while the intensity for each bead in 3C,D,F,G was taken as the total number of transcripts
belonging to genes in the indicated metagene. Finally, the images were passed through Gaussian filters
with a standard deviation of 12 pixels.
For the images with blue backgrounds in Fig. 4, each bead was represented by a square of length 70
pixels on each side, with intensity equal to the total number of transcripts belonging to the set of genes
indicated in the legend. Overlapping squares summed their intensities in the overlap region. For Fig. 4G-
K, all the images within a given panel are normalized to the same values (i.e., the same colors represent
the same values in all four images).
To determine whether a transcript had a significantly non-random spatial distribution within a particular
set of beads (for example, within the set of beads called as Purkinje neurons by NMFreg), we first
calculated the matrix of pairwise Euclidean distances between all beads in the set. We then compared the
distribution of pairwise distances between the beads expressing at least one count of that transcript (Fig.
S10A) to the distribution of pairwise distances between an identical number of beads, sampled randomly
from all mapped beads within the set with probability proportional to the total number of transcripts on
the bead (Fig. S10B). (Rigorously, therefore, the spatial significance gene algorithm determines whether
the spatial distribution of a particular transcript differs significantly from the spatial distribution of all
transcripts.) Specifically, we generated 1000 such random samples, and for each sample calculated the
distribution of pairwise distances. We then calculated the average distribution of pairwise distances,
averaged across all 1000 samples (Fig. S10B, bottom). Finally, we calculated the L1 norm between the
distribution of pairwise distances for the true sample of beads and the average distribution (Fig. S10C),
and the L1 norm between the distribution of pairwise distances for each of the 1000 random samples and
the average distribution (Fig. S10D). We defined p to be the fraction of random samples having
distributions closer to the average distribution (under the L1 norm) than the true sample, and considered
any genes with values p≤0.005 (Fig. S10E). Often, as many as 4000 genes would pass the filters
described above, leading to a high false-positive rate. For this reason, various methods were used to
enrich for true positives (described in detail below), for example by using multiple biological replicates,
or by identifying clusters of correlated genes within the set of spatially significant genes.
Genes were identified as spatially non-random using a custom Matlab application (see Fig. S10). In
regions in which cells are densely packed, one often finds markers from multiple different cell types on a
single bead. In some instances, when seeking to identify spatially patterned genes within a cell type, our
algorithm identified markers of cell types in spatial proximity. For example, in cerebellum, granule cell
markers were sometimes identified as spatially non-random within a set of oligodendrocytes due to the
proximity of the granular layer and the cerebellar white matter. For this reason, genes were identified as
candidates for the statistical significance analysis within a particular cluster if they had an average
expression of at least 0.1 transcripts per bead within that cluster in the atlas reference dataset, or if the
variance within that cluster in the atlas reference dataset was at least 0.01 transcripts squared and the ratio
of the variance to the squared expression was at least 7.5 (an empirically determined value). Moreover,
candidate genes for the statistical significance analysis were required to have at least one transcript on at
least 15 beads in Slide-seq.
Overlap Analysis:
To identify genes that are significantly correlated or anticorrelated with other genes, we applied a
custom Matlab algorithm. For simplicity of description, we consider the case of determining the genes
that are correlated or anticorrelated with a particular gene, gene A. For each gene in the genome, we
generated a “true” image in which each bead with at least one transcript of the gene was represented by a
square of side length 100 pixels (~64 microns). Images were then binarized, so overlapping squares did
not sum. Then, for each gene, we additionally generated 50 “random” images in which the same number
of transcripts were redistributed across all beads with probability proportional to the number of reads per
bead. We then calculated the pixel-wise inner product between the image of gene A and the 50 random
images every other gene, and calculated the mean and standard deviation of the inner products. We then
compared the mean and standard deviation to the inner products of the image for gene A with the true
image of every other gene, obtaining a Z score for each gene. All genes with Z scores greater than 3 were
deemed correlated, while those with Z scores less than 3 were deemed anticorrelated.
In Fig. 3B, Kctd12 and Car7 did not pass the p-value cutoff, but are displayed as squares to demonstrate
their location relative to Aldoc.
Identification of spatially variable genes in the cerebellar granular layer:
We identified Gprin3 by finding all of the genes with significant expression (p<0.001, Fisher exact test)
in the ventral part of puck 180819_12 compared to the dorsal part of the puck, for which more than 80%
of the transcripts were in the ventral portion. This yielded three hemoglobin genes, Th, Cemip, Gprin3,
Mab21l2, and Syndig1l. The three hemoglobin genes and Th were discarded because they were not
expressed in granule cells.
For the purposes of displaying the matrix thus obtained in Fig. 3A, we first normalized the i,jth entry of
the matrix by dividing as follows:
𝑝𝑝𝑖𝑖,𝑗𝑗
𝑝𝑝𝑖𝑖,𝑗𝑗 ←
�𝑝𝑝𝑖𝑖,𝑖𝑖 𝑝𝑝𝑗𝑗,𝑗𝑗
We then divided each column of the resulting matrix by the sum of the column. Finally, because the
resulting matrix was asymmetric, we summed the matrix and its transpose. For purposes of display, we
then performed Ward clustering in Matlab and ordered them by cluster.
For measurements of the mitosis layer thickness, we took two measurements from one puck
(Puck_180821_3, both sides of the injury site) and one measurement from a second puck
(Puck_180819_19, the bottom side of the injury site). For measurements of the astrocyte scar thickness
and the microglial penetration thickness, we took six measurements: two on each side of the scar from
each of three pucks (Puck_180819_5, Puck_180819_6, and Puck_180819_7).
For the distance measurements in Fig. 4K, we plotted grayscale versions of the images in 4K using the
IEG metagene listed in Table S2, and took line profiles similar to those taken for the measurements in
Fig. 4D,E. We took measurements from each side of the injury for puck 180819_7 (4G, bottom). We
additionally took measurements from one side of the injury on pucks 180819_5 and 180819_6. We only
used one side from those pucks on the grounds that the injury site was very close to the edge of the puck
on one side.
Two of the three-day injury pucks (180819_16 and 180819_18) were excluded from all distance
measurements on the grounds that the tissue damage was not readily identifiable on the puck.
One two-week injury puck (180819_8) was excluded from all distance measurements on the grounds that
the tissue slice was more lateral than the other tissue slices. It showed neither enrichment of the
immediate early genes around the injury site, nor a dip in astrocyte density in the middle of the scar,
leading us to suspect that it was at the edge of the wound.
The annotation used for Fig. 4G was “mitotic cell cycle.” Fig. 4H was “antigen processing and
presentation via MHC class Ib.” The annotation used for Fig. 4I was “gliogenesis.” The annotation used
for Fig. 4J was “oligodendrocyte development.”
Animal Handling:
Animals were group housed with a 12-hour light-dark schedule. All procedures involving animals at MIT
were conducted in accordance with the US National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of
Laboratory Animals under protocol number 1115-111-18 and approved by the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology Committee on Animal Care. All procedures involving animals at the Broad Institute were
conducted in accordance with the US National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of
Laboratory Animals under protocol number 0120-09-16.
Transcardial Perfusion:
Animals were anesthetized by administration of isoflurane in a gas chamber flowing 3% isoflurane for 1
minute. Anesthesia was confirmed by checking for a negative tail pinch response. Animals were moved to
a dissection tray and anesthesia was prolonged via a nose cone flowing 3% isoflurane for the duration of
the procedure. Transcardial perfusions were performed with ice cold pH 7.4 HEPES buffer containing
110 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES, 25 mM glucose, 75 mM sucrose, 7.5 mM MgCl2, and 2.5 mM KCl to
remove blood from brain and other organs sampled. The appropriate organs were removed and frozen for
3 minutes in liquid nitrogen vapor and moved to -80C for long term storage.
