C. elegans Spatial Omics Service

Spatial omics is an advanced approach that profiles biomolecules while preserving spatial context, enabling researchers to understand where genes, proteins, and metabolites are enriched across anatomical regions and tissues. For C. elegans, spatial omics provides a powerful way to connect molecular programs with organism-level phenotypes—supporting studies in development, neurobiology, reproduction, aging, stress response, and drug mechanism research. With expertise and advanced technology platforms, CD BioSciences offers comprehensive C. elegans spatial omics services to global clients, delivering high-quality spatial molecular maps and actionable interpretation.

Introduction to C. elegans Spatial Omics

Conventional bulk omics captures average signals from mixed tissues, while single-cell sequencing provides cellular resolution but often loses positional information. Spatial omics bridges this gap by adding the "where" dimension, allowing researchers to visualize region- and tissue-associated molecular patterns, identify spatial gradients, and reveal localized responses to genetic or environmental perturbations. Spatial omics in C. elegans can be implemented using section-based strategies (e.g., serial cryosections) and spatially resolved molecular readouts. These datasets can be further integrated with single-cell resources to improve interpretation, enabling a more intuitive connection between pathways, tissues, and phenotypes.

Workflow of Our Services

C. elegans Culture, Synchronization & Treatment

Worm cultivation and staging (embryo/larva/adult) with optional synchronization and experimental treatment setup to ensure biological consistency across groups.

Spatial Data Generation

Spatial Transcriptomics (RNA capture/extraction → library prep → sequencing)
Spatial Proteomics (protein prep → LC–MS/MS; project-dependent)
Spatial Metabolomics / Lipidomics (section prep → MS imaging acquisition)

Spatial Map Reconstruction & Differential Analysis

Spatial pattern reconstruction/visualization; region/segment quantification; spatially variable feature discovery; and between-group comparisons (e.g., treatment vs. control) with pathway enrichment (GO/KEGG/custom gene sets).

Sample Preparation for Spatial Profiling

Embedding, orientation, and cryosectioning/serial sectioning (region- or whole-body coverage). Section QC and documentation (section thickness, continuity, anatomical orientation) to support downstream spatial reconstruction.

Primary Data Processing & Quality Control

Raw data QC, alignment/identification, filtering, and summary statistics for each selected omics layer (sequencing or MS-based), generating cleaned data matrices ready for spatial analysis.

Reporting & Data Delivery

Final report with key findings and publication-ready visuals, plus organized delivery of raw data, processed matrices, spatial maps, and result tables for downstream use.
