X is for "Xenium"

Leo expected their cool ninja masks to be assigned during schooling hours. Raph cared less about how, more about soon. Mikey was hopeful that such important big boy presents would come with an even bigger party.

And Don? He was…confused more than anything as he stirred from a turtle pile one day with a purple wrinkle pressed under his eye.

The others were just as sluggishly surprised by the lack of formalities, ceremony or fanfare but a gift was a gift.

For one as important as this, Don just wished he could remember the giving in the first place.

Hello! It's me again!!

I lowkey missed the sisters, so I have some asks for the ask game!!

W- wildcard: a random fun fact about your oc!

X- xenium: what would they gift strangers or friends

Z- zest: what excites them? Do they easily get excited or does it happen once in a blue moon?

Also, since I couldn't find it in the ask game, these are my questions

How do they express affection (platonic/romantic)

How would they fall in love? Love at first sight? Slow burn?

Would they judge each other's taste in (preferred gender)

What's their sexuality?

Feel free to like not answer any of these! I just want more content of my fav ocs!!

Thank you so much for another ask!! Really I do truly appreciate these very much!!!

Youngest to oldest this time!!

W- wildcard

Veronica actually frequently dyes her hair. When the two sisters got whisked away, they were actually making plans to dye her hair that night. Though, that didn't quite turn out as they wanted. However, trying to keep things normal, they do get some hair dye from Sam after getting the essentials for the night, and then proceed to stay up to late doing her hair. Which turned Turquoise in the end. (Which led everyone to believe that was her natural hair color for a hot minute)

Patricia has played volleyball since her first year of middle school and is pretty good. She has gotten the mvp award in both her freshman and sophomore years of high school and got to play on the varsity team her sophomore year.

(Timeline wise, they go to twisted wonderland after Patricia's first sophomore semester, which means that volleyball season was over by then)

X - xenium

Ok, the answer would be the same for both of them, really. While Veronica is pretty friendly and such, she wouldn't just go and out of the blue give a gift to a complete stranger. Unless it was like a flower she picked or such.

(Patricia would smile at them if they were lucky)

As for the friends, they both try to give thoughtful giftsthat they woild like, the usual really.

Z - zest

The answer was written in this post! 😉

How do they express affection?

Veronica is a gift giver, quality time, and physical touch in the affection game. Both with friends and romantic partners.

Patricia is a physical touch, words of affirmation, and quality time person. Though with a romantic partner, she is also a gift giver.

How do they fall in love?

Veronica is the type to think someone is cute for a long while but not necessarily crush on them or fall in love on the spot. She is a bit of a slow burn in that sense, though when she falls, she falls hard, and it's hard to get her back up again.

Patricia, on the other hand, goes back and forth a bit. Most of the time, she has an enemy's to lovers thing going on, and when she figures out she actually likes the person, she tries to deny it so hard. (Which I guess falls under the umbrella of a slow burn) But there have been a few times she saw someone and immediately knew that she was in trouble.

And, yes. They would definitely judge each other’s taste in partners. Though it's often done in a teasing matter as both are attracted to completely different types of people.

Example.

Veronica finds Riddle, Epel, Idia, Ruggie, and Lilia very attractive.

Patricia finds Leona, Malleus, Vil, Floyd, and Rook very attractive.

See what I mean?

What is their Sexuality?

Both are straight and don't really feel the need to explore or anything.

Thank you so much for the questions! I really enjoyed writing these out!

(Though my apologies, it was a few days. When I got this, it was like ☺️ I'll kick off the new year with a bang and post it at midnight!!! (Proceeds to completely forget to set the schedule post and doesn't realize till afternoon time)

[escha-ashengrotto]

D, N and X for the twst alphabet!

CECE!!! *HUGS* 🥰🥰

For the ask game!

D - Dream

— what does their happy dream from book 7 look like? Do they need help in order to wake up or realize that something is off by themselves?

OH GOSH. I have talked about this with a friend and although it's not totally set in stone yet, the premise goes like this:

Escha is in a romantic relationship with Azul but during the start of Book 7, their relationship has kind of hit a rock (although she is the only one to realize) because Escha feels neglected. Azul was too busy with other things and although she says she understands the position he is in, it doesn't stop her from being sad and lonely (which she hides from Azul).

In her dream, it's just her and Azul living together close to the sea with Azul always being there for her. Spoiling her. Caring for her. Doing things for her. This makes her feel happy because in this dream, she doesn't feel like just a second choice to Azul and a bother to him.

Escha might realize it's all fake but it will take her quite some time before she does. After all, who would want to wake up when you're living a happy life with the one you love?

N - Night Owl

— do they go to bed early or stay up late? If so why do they stay up late (work or insomnia)?

Escha will go to sleep early if needed. She is prone to getting dizzy and will faint if she continuously lacks sleep. If not, she stays up late (but not very) doing things she likes or feels like doing.

X - Xenium

— what would they gift strangers or friends?

She likes to give gifts that she thinks would be useful to them and also something they'd like. You always lose a pen? She'll gift you a nice set. Something happened to your favorite shirt? She'll buy you a new one. You're feeling sad? She'll get you some food. She is very thoughtful and likes to show her appreciation to everyone.

Advancements Shaping the Spatial Genomics Industry

Spatial Genomics Market: A Realistic Look at the Numbers

The spatial genomics industry is making bold promises about its future growth, but when you dig into the details, some serious questions emerge that anyone considering investing in this space should think about carefully.

The Growth Story Sounds Almost Too Good

Market researchers are painting an incredibly optimistic picture of where spatial genomics is headed. According to a recent study by Meticulous Research, the global spatial genomics market could reach $3.23 billion by 2031, growing at an impressive 27.8% each year. To put that in perspective, that's one of the fastest growth rates we're seeing anywhere in biotechnology right now.

This growth seems tied to the broader expansion happening in pharmaceutical research. Companies are expected to spend $213 billion on R&D by 2026, up from $189 billion in 2022. That's certainly good news for any technology that helps with drug discovery, but it also makes you wonder: what happens if that R&D spending doesn't materialize as expected?

When you see growth projections this aggressive, you have to ask whether they're based on realistic assumptions or if there's some wishful thinking involved. After all, sustaining nearly 28% annual growth would require almost everything to go perfectly across an entire industry.

Who's Actually Playing in This Space

The competitive landscape tells an interesting story. There are quite a few players vying for position right now. The main companies include NanoString Technologies, 10X Genomics, Illumina, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Akoya Biosciences, Revvity, S2 Genomics, Cantata Bio, Vizgen, Biospyder Technologies, and Resolve Biosciences. That's a lot of companies for what's still considered an emerging market.

What's particularly interesting is how quickly these companies are rolling out new products. 10x Genomics launched their Xenium platform in December 2022, designed to sequence thousands of genes at once. Not to be outdone, Spatial Genomics introduced their GenePS system in May 2023, which can analyze over 1,000 genes with high resolution.

This rapid-fire product development could signal healthy competition, but it might also suggest that companies are rushing to establish market position before the field gets too crowded. The question is whether there's room for all these players to succeed, or if we're headed for a shakeout.

The Technology Investment Puzzle

Here's where things get really interesting from an investment standpoint. Right now, the biggest chunk of market revenue comes from selling instruments because drug development requires increasingly sensitive and productive equipment. Companies need these sophisticated machines to do their research, so that's where the money is flowing.

But there are signs this could change. Companies like Nucleai launched an integrated solution in November 2022 that combines imaging with machine learning to speed up analysis and improve reliability. This suggests we might be moving toward a world where software becomes more important than hardware.

If that happens, it could completely reshape who wins and loses in this market. Companies that have invested heavily in building expensive instruments might find themselves competing against software-focused firms that can work with any hardware platform.

The Cancer Research Dependency

One thing that stands out immediately is how much this market depends on cancer research. The oncology segment is expected to see the highest growth rates, which makes sense given that cancer cases worldwide are expected to jump from 19.3 million in 2020 to 24.6 million by 2030.

The funding supports this focus too. Government research funding through NIH has grown from $33 billion in 2015 to $42 billion in 2021, and much of that increase has gone toward cancer research. Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are expected to be the biggest buyers of spatial genomics tools.

But this concentration on cancer creates some risk. What happens if there's a major breakthrough in cancer treatment that reduces the need for this type of research? Or what if funding priorities shift? The market could be more vulnerable than it initially appears.

Asia-Pacific: The Wild Card

The geographic trends add another layer of complexity. Asia-Pacific is expected to see the fastest growth in spatial genomics adoption. We're already seeing this play out with companies like BeiGene in China, which increased their R&D spending by 12.4% from 2021 to 2022.

This shift toward Asia represents both opportunity and challenge. On one hand, there's clearly growing investment and demand in these markets. On the other hand, it raises questions about intellectual property protection, regulatory differences, and how Western companies can effectively compete in these regions.

The Problems Nobody Talks About

Despite all the optimistic projections, there are some significant challenges that don't get much attention. The industry still lacks standardized approaches, which means customers often get locked into specific vendors and have trouble integrating different systems.

There are also serious concerns about data security and privacy when dealing with genomic information. These aren't just technical problems - they could become major regulatory hurdles that slow down adoption.

Perhaps most importantly, many organizations are struggling with the complexity of analyzing all this data and the slow pace of technology adoption. Even if the tools exist, that doesn't mean they're easy to use or that researchers can quickly incorporate them into their workflows.

What This Means for Decision-Making

When you step back and look at the big picture, spatial genomics does appear to represent a genuine opportunity. The underlying drivers - rising cancer rates, increased R&D spending, advancing technology - are real and substantial.

But the market's dependence on continued R&D funding, its concentration in cancer applications, and the technical challenges around standardization and data analysis suggest this won't be a straightforward success story.

The companies most likely to succeed won't necessarily be those with the most advanced technology today. Instead, they'll probably be the ones that can build flexible platforms, expand beyond cancer applications, and solve the practical problems that are slowing down adoption.

The Bottom Line

The spatial genomics market is projecting some truly impressive numbers, and there are legitimate reasons to believe the technology will play an important role in medical research going forward. The science is solid, the need is real, and the funding appears to be there.

However, anyone looking at this market needs to be realistic about the challenges. Growth rates of nearly 30% annually are exceptionally difficult to sustain. The competitive landscape is crowded and still evolving. And there are practical hurdles around standardization, data analysis, and market concentration that could significantly impact how things play out.

Success in this space will likely require more than just good technology - it will demand smart positioning, realistic expectations, and the ability to adapt as the market matures and customer needs evolve.
