Identification of variants from Spatial Transcriptomics using STARSolo

Hello All,

Sorry for asking a naïve question. Can we identify variants from spatial transcriptomics data by using STARSolo bam files?

We have been using snRNASeq or scRNASeq data for identifying variants.

We have been testing these pipelines:

FastQC --> STAR (two pass mode) --> GATK

FastqQC --> STARSolo --> Monopogen (idk if GATK will also work on the bam files received from STARSolo)

Do you think the same thing will work for Visium ST data? Is there any pipeline out there? Also, if you know if the bam files obtained from STARSolo can be fed into GATK to get a VCF file?

Thank you.

Potentially. Within the constraints noted in threads above and the technology used. R2 is an RNA read in ST.
