Methodological opportunities for spatial genomics. We describe distinct “classes” of biological and biophysical measurements that fall within our four key areas of interest. These include diffusion of RNA away from the site of transcription, establishment of patterning in a multicellular tissue or organism, and gene regulatory networks giving rise to particular behaviors. For each, we describe how the underlying processes may be directly measured, or indirectly inferred, from spatial genomics data
