Abstract
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) tumors form complex tumor-immune microenvironments with marked cellular heterogeneity. Here, we present a protocol to generate orthotopic DMG tumors in immunocompetent neonatal mice and to spatially characterize the tumor ecosystem using a multi-omics workflow on sequential brain sections. We detail procedures for brain freezing, cryosectioning, single-nuclei RNA sequencing, and Visium spatial transcriptomics. We then describe steps for cyclic immunofluorescence and integrative computational analysis to resolve cellular states and spatial organization.
For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Collot et al.1

The paper's code and data availability statement is in the Data section.
Tracing map
Proposed by the machine: these links were found in the paper and verified at the source, without human review. The map will receive a Zenodo DOI once one of the paper's authors has validated it with their ORCID.
What the map holds:
- 2 repositories of the authors' code, each at its verified commit, with its license and how the link was found in the paper;
- 12 scripts, each with its path and the digest of its content;
- no match between paragraphs and code yet;
- neither the text of the paper nor the code itself.
Its JSON (tracing-map.json) is deposited on Zenodo with its DOI once the map is validated.
