Title: Method for Imaging Live-Cell RNA Using an RNA Aptamer and a Fluorescent Probe. Author: Sato SI, Yatsuzuka K, Katsuda Y, Uesugi M. Journal: Methods Mol Biol; 2018; 1649():305-318. PubMed ID: 29130206. Abstract: Live-cell imaging of mRNA dynamics is increasingly important to understanding spatially restricted gene expression. We recently developed a convenient and versatile method that uses a gene-specific RNA aptamer and a fluorescent probe to enable spatiotemporal imaging of endogenous mRNAs in living cells. The method was validated by live-cell imaging of the endogenous mRNA of β-actin. The new RNA-imaging technology might be useful for live-cell imaging of any RNA molecules.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
