American Association of Immunologists
Unlock immunological insights to reveal disease mechanisms
The IMMUNOLOGY2026 annual meeting of the American Association of Immunologists, held from April 15–19 in Boston, MA, brought together immunology professionals from the global community. At the conference, researchers accessed cutting-edge research, participated in career development sessions, and collaborated with peers, prospective authors, and potential funders. We discussed our comprehensive solutions to support critical biomarker discovery and immunology research, as well as our latest innovations for single-cell spatial omics.

Unlocking multiomic analysis in spatial genomics: Integrating spatial ATAC‑seq and V(D)J sequencing with gene expression using novel spatial barcoding of single nuclei
This poster shows how Trekker technology was used to transform single‑cell sequencing assays into spatially resolved single-cell data. This technology utilizes unique DNA barcodes on a tightly packed bead array to spatially label individual cells. The resulting tagged nuclei are then processed on conventional single‑cell sequencing platforms, preserving spatial information while providing true single-cell resolution. In this study, Trekker technology was applied to achieve spatial ATAC‑seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) combined with gene expression analysis, as well as spatial V(D)J sequencing paired with gene expression.
