Using Amino-Labeled Nucleotide Probes for Simultaneous Single Molecule RNA-DNA FISH
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using amino-labeled oligonucleotide probes, we established a simple, robust and low-noise method for simultaneous detection of RNA and DNA by fluorescence in situ hybridization, a highly useful tool to study the large pool of long non-coding RNAs being identified in the current research. With probes either chemically or biologically synthesized, we demonstrate that the method can be applied to study a wide range of RNA and DNA targets at the single-cell and single-molecule level in cellular contexts.

StellarisTM fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes: a powerful tool for mRNA detection
Sensitive enough to detect individual molecules of mRNA, Stellaris FISH probe sets consist of multiple singly labeled oligonucleotides (generally 30–48) designed to hybridize along targeted RNA transcripts. Each discrete transcript is observed as a diffraction-limited spot by conventional fluorescence microscopy. The relatively large number of probes used to detect a single mRNA molecule makes ...

Oligonucleotide microarrays allow the production of complex custom oligonucleotide libraries for nucleic acid detection-based applications such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We have developed a PCR-free method to make single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) fluorescent probes through an intermediate RNA library. A double-stranded oligonucleotide library is amplified by transcription to crea...
متن کاملmRNA detection in budding yeast with single fluorophores
Quantitative measurement of mRNA levels in single cells is necessary to understand phenotypic variability within an otherwise isogenic population of cells. Single-molecule mRNA Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) has been established as the standard method for this purpose, but current protocols require a long region of mRNA to be targeted by multiple DNA probes. Here, we introduce a new ...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a macromolecule recognition technology based on the complementary nature of DNA or DNA/RNA double strands. Selected DNA strands incorporated with fluorophore-coupled nucleotides can be used as probes to hybridize onto the complementary sequences in tested cells and tissues and then visualized through a fluorescence microscope or an imaging system. Th...
متن کاملVisualization of lncRNA by single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization.
Single-molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization is a technique that holds great potential for the study of long noncoding RNA. It enables quantification and spatial resolution of single RNA molecules within cells via hybridization of multiple, labeled nucleic acid probes to a target RNA. It has recently become apparent that single-molecule RNA FISH probes targeting noncoding RNA are more...
