New Tools for mRNA Live Imaging
Written by | November Edited by | Xi Imaging of mRNA typically utilizes a method involving fluorescent proteins. For instance, green fluorescent protein is fused with the MS2 phage coat protein (MCP), forming MCP-GFP, which can be recruited to mRNA containing 24-48 consecutive MS2 hairpin structures in the 3′ UTR region【1】. This system is known … Read more
