Spatial transcriptomics has enabled numerous deep learning models in this area, and training them requires large amounts of high-quality data, especially expression matrices paired with histological images. Here, we present a unified spatial transcriptomic dataset generated using the Stereo-seq platform, covering 10 mouse organs—including brain, kidney, lung, thymus, large intestine, skin, spleen, ovary, testis, and uterus—encompassing 23 tissue sections generated from 21 chips, each with matched ssDNA or H&E staining images. The dataset comprises single-cell-resolution (cell-bin) or square bin-50 (25 µm × 25 µm) expression matrices for each sample, accompanied by corresponding cell type annotations. Annotation robustness was further supported by concordance across different sections of the same tissue and corroboration with canonical marker gene expression patterns. Finally, we compared the characteristics of the cell-bin and bin-50 expression matrices and demonstrated the advantages of cell-bin resolution for cell annotation. This dataset provides a standardized resource for spatial transcriptomics method development, benchmarking, and multimodal analysis.
