多核糖体谱是一个功能强大的技术，其允许特定的转录物的翻译的状态的不同处理条件下的定量。它在原理上是一种非常简单的技术但它需要多个步骤执行的，其中的一些是用于制造好的多核糖体轮廓的关键。这些关键的步骤是：1）使用无RNA酶的化学品和塑料制品，2）准备好蔗糖梯度（以我们的经验，10％-50％的蔗糖梯度最适合有效解决40 / 60S亚单位的mRNA，并与核糖体结合）和3 ）使用，以便细胞被成倍增长的和不大于80％汇合捕获翻译率最高。这后一步骤应做长细胞的治疗，如基因敲除或过表达时加以考虑，使细胞与板的量将是多少的细胞将在端点被汇合的功能。 在结果presen泰德这里，多核糖体信息分析是用于评估在IRES-携带的mRNA XIAP和Bcl-xL 12的翻译调控PDCD4的作用的一个重要工具。我们没有观察到一般多核糖体轮廓时PDCD4击倒（ 图1B）任何改变的事实使我们得出这样的结论PDCD4没有实验条件下影响全球蜂窝翻译。我们接下来使用的RT-qPCR的分析，以确定XIAP和Bcl-xL的mRNA与PDCD4或对照siRNA处理的细胞中的分布。 qPCR的是所选择的用于分析多核糖体剖面，相对于标准的RT-PCR或Northern印迹的方法，因为它允许进行定量mRNA的分布，而不是半定量分析，并在治疗之间的翻译效率的微妙变化的检测。使用这种技术，我们能够显示，XIAP和Bcl-xL mRNA的分布（表示为总目标mRNA的跨越克的百分比adient）溶液显著移入重型多聚核糖体（mRNA表达与后PDCD4的敲低（ 图1D，E），有大量的核糖体与它们相关联），从而表明增加这些mRNA的翻译。这是通过增加XIAP和Bcl-xL蛋白水平而不是在它们的稳态RNA水平（ 图1F，G）进一步证实。重要的是，XIAP的非IRES变体的多核糖体分布处理和未处理的细胞中（ 图1C）之间变化。或者，翻译效率可以表示为mRNA的含量在多聚核糖体（通常是馏分5〜10）与monosomes的比率（通常是馏分2〜4）14。 在整个协议中使用的控件是验证任何多核糖体分析的结果很重要，因为从吸光度读数观察到在254nm处的峰不能自行归因于核糖体RNA（洗涤剂S，如Triton X-100强烈地吸收在光谱的该区域，并可能掩盖40 / 60S峰梯度的顶部）。空白梯度而不裂解物和/或与溶胞产物缓冲液需要运行，以确定在254nm处的缓冲器，以吸光度的相对贡献。假象高阶结构也可导致多核糖体，其中有实际上没有（ 例如，“伪多核糖体”20）的错误的解释。螯合镁（用于整个过程，以稳定80S核糖体）与二价阳离子的螯合剂乙二胺四乙酸加入到裂解物中和至梯度缓冲液（20mM，15分钟）将导致核糖体分离成其组成小的（40S）和大的（60S ）亚基。因此，如果记录在260nm处的吸收峰是确实的多核糖体，EDTA处理就会崩溃使得单个最大将邻近梯度对应于释放mRNA和核糖体单元的顶部观察到的信息（数据未示出）。一致与轮廓的EDTA诱导的崩溃，所有的通过qPCR分析的具体目标，现在应该在梯度的顶部中。 与mRNA的关联核糖体的数目不总是对如何有效地特定的mRNA被翻译的指示。事实上，有其中在多聚核糖体活性翻译成为推迟21,22，读者应该知道的特定上下文。确定是否转录物都在积极地与翻译机器可以通过完成）处理样品嘌呤，它不像的EDTA，使“径流”核糖体正在积极跨越的mRNA转运的，或b）处理所述样品与高三尖杉酯抑制只在起始密码子的第一个核糖体的移位，再次造成任何下游易位核糖体&#39;流失&#39;。 对于定量PCR分析利用控制的成绩单也很关键。该SELEC转录物的灰即不受不同的处理条件，如某些管家基因（GAPDH，肌动蛋白，微管蛋白，核仁），核糖体的mRNA（18S，RPL13A），或在这种情况下，XIAP的IRES的非IRES变体中，是在重要验证是否对翻译的治疗的效果是特定的或普遍。这些控制转录物可以用来归一化分析的mRNA作为在这里所做的分布（XIAP和Bcl-xL的mRNA进行标准化为GAPDH mRNA和表达为总mRNA含量的通过mRNA的含量的总和在每一个分数表示的百分比）或可选地，目标和控制的mRNA可以被表示为绝对值，并分别示出。输入裂解物（通常为10％总体积的）的定量PCR分析是另一个步骤，将控制特定的mRNA的分布。理想情况下，在输入裂解特定转录的mRNA的含量应相当于在所有10级分析mRNA表达量的总和。最后，一个可选的步骤，以控制对苯酚：氯仿提取步骤中，每穗多核糖体级分用体外转录的报道基因（如CAT，氯霉素乙酰转移酶），将通过qPCR随后被量化，并甚至可以用来归一化的数据14。 与任何技术中，将多核糖纹呈现一定的局限性。通常至少10分（在翻译效率更微妙的变化，可能需要20个或更多）需要收集，以便有很好的多核糖体分布的事实使得这种步骤限制性的，在这个意义上，最多只有4个样本可以是在同一时间进行分析，以便能够一次轻松的处理RNA提取和40个样本和4个输入控件的qPCR分析。样本大小可以很容易地添加了qPCR的多少转录物进行分析和多少重复做的，这可能是昂贵的。的定量PCR为基础的多核糖体分析一个又一个的限制nalysis是，它只能在一个候选为基础的方法（其中，将待分析的转录物是预先已知的），并不能适用于翻译的全基因组分析来完成。然而，在21 世纪初，研究人员就开始询问自己的多核糖体RNA在使用DNA基因组水平最近15芯片和新一代测序16,17。在这种强大的方法，多核糖体分析已在本协议中所述不同的是，而不是执行单个组分的定量PCR分析进行，monosomes分数（通常是2-4分）和多核糖体部分（通常是分数）汇集在一起​​，在变化的全球分析了翻译通过DNA微阵列或全基因组RNA测序。因此，使用这种方法，可以评估所有的mRNA，其分布的变化，从多聚核糖体来monosomes（减少翻译），反之亦然（提高翻译）在一个特定的治疗换货。验证特定mRNA的多核糖体的分布与定量然后可以通过定量PCR来完成。一个更强大的使用的多核糖体分析的原则是核糖体分析。这种技术的进一步高吞吐量的扩展最近有报道称，允许同时监控上百个核糖体部分23的。这提供了明显的优势探测的突变体集合或在大规模RNAi筛选转化效率时。核糖体分析是一种技术，采用新一代测序的优势，通过映射核糖体（核糖体的足迹）保护的RNA片段从事蛋白质合成24,25。在该技术中，核糖体易位可以抑制与放线菌酮（可逆）或依米丁（不可逆），随后加入细胞裂解和RNA酶消化，得到的核糖体脚印的群体。核糖体富集，总RNA分离和污染核糖体和线粒体核糖体RNA被除去。约26-28个核苷酸的RNA脚印是孤立的，反转录，转化成cDNA文库进行测序26。不像标准的多核糖体分析，这种方法不仅标识了翻译调控特异mRNAs但也产生了在密码子的第mRNA的特定信息，如精确占领和核糖体的密度沿特定转录物。这是特别的mRNA的翻译与特定的模式，如IRES-窝藏mRNA的利益，因为它可以给哪里的成绩单核糖体招募正在发生的更多信息。

蛋白质的合成（翻译）的调节是其密切相关的细胞存活的一个关键的细胞过程。鉴于翻译消耗细胞的能量的50％以上，这是不足为奇的翻译是被严格调控，并且在翻译扰动没有得到很好的耐受性。相反，许多异常的细胞过程需要翻译机器翻译输出（ 即蛋白质），必须进行修改。这是常常在各种应激反应和疾病状态的情况下，和可能是最好的例证中的癌症。翻译控制的一个主要优点是电池的快速重新编程的蛋白质输出响应于各种外部和内部触发的能力，从而微调机制，提示细胞存活和死亡1之间的平衡。 翻译控制的两个方面是特别令人感兴趣的;监管MEC的本质的认识hanism（S）和控制元件，使特定的翻译，并识别特定的mRNA及其蛋白质产物参与到引起选择性的翻译在首位的特定触发的细胞应答。多核糖体分析是一种技术，它允许两个进程的有效的学习。 多核糖体分析技术的总体目标是研究和量化不同的细胞条件下的特定mRNA的翻译状态。该技术的原理是捕捉mRNA的翻译由&#39;上的蔗糖梯度&#39;冻结&#39;&#39;上的不同的转录积极翻译的核糖体，并分离得到的多聚核糖体通过超速离心，从而允许高度翻译转录物之间的区别（受几个核糖体）和差的翻译那些（结合被一个或两个核糖体）。在这个特定的协议，该抗生素放线菌酮，其结合到所述60S核糖体亚基和块脱乙酰化的tRNA从核糖体E盘2的释放，被用来抑制核糖体易位和失速的核糖体上翻译的mRNA。然而，其他的封端剂，如吐根碱也阻挡翻译延伸3，都可以使用。 不像蛋白质印迹和其测量翻译过程的最终输出35的S-蛋氨酸标记技术，多核糖纹具有测量与积极转译的mRNA核糖体相关联的优点，因而允许的翻译机制在不同条件下的更详细的研究。因此，该技术可以很容易地适应具体研究不同翻译4-6的方式，参与翻译调控7-9，影响蛋白质的合成1,10,11或mRNA的结构，例如IRES或上游的影响胁迫条件下的蛋白因子对蛋白质合成的开放阅读框ESIS 12-14。如今，多核糖体分析应用更广泛的使用DNA微阵列15或下一代测序16,17的分析多聚核糖体相关的mRNA。

assessment of selective mrna translation in mammalian cells by polysome profiling

蛋白质合成的调控表示强调的细胞反应的关键控制点。特别的，谨慎的RNA调控元件均表现为允许对特定的mRNA，其通常所需的特定应激反应的蛋白质进行编码的选择性转换。这些mRNA，以及负责选择性翻译调控机制的表征鉴定已在分子生物学的前沿一段时间。多核糖体分析是在这些研究的基础方法。多核糖体剖面的目的是捕捉mRNA的翻译通过对不同的转录物固定化积极地翻译的核糖体和通过超速离心法分离出来的蔗糖梯度所产生的多核糖体，因此允许高度翻译的转录和翻译的不好的人之间的区别。这些然后可以进一步特征在于，传统的生化和分子生物学方法。重要的是，结合Polysom​​e剖析与高通量基因组学方法允许翻译调控的大尺度分析。

Analysis of mRNA Nuclear Export Kinetics in Mammalian Cells by Microinjection

In eukaryotes, messenger RNA (mRNA) is transcribed in the nucleus and must be exported into the cytoplasm to access the translation machinery. Although the nuclear export of mRNA has been studied extensively in Xenopus oocytes1 and genetically tractable organisms such as yeast2 and the Drosophila derived S2 cell line3, few studies had been conducted in mammalian cells. Furthermore the kinetics of mRNA export in mammalian somatic cells could only be inferred indirectly4,5. In order to measure the nuclear export kinetics of mRNA in mammalian tissue culture cells, we have developed an assay that employs the power of microinjection coupled with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). These assays have been used to demonstrate that in mammalian cells, the majority of mRNAs are exported in a splicing dependent manner6,7, or in manner that requires specific RNA sequences such as the signal sequence coding region (SSCR) 6. In this assay, cells are microinjected with either in vitro synthesized mRNA or plasmid DNA containing the gene of interest. The microinjected cells are incubated for various time points then fixed and the sub-cellular localization of RNA is assessed using FISH. In contrast to transfection, where transcription occurs several hours after the addition of nucleic acids, microinjection of DNA or mRNA allows for rapid expression and allows for the generation of precise kinetic data.

Here we describe an assay that employs the power of microinjection coupled with fluorescent in situ hybridization in order to accurately measure the nuclear export kinetics of mRNA in mammalian somatic cells.

Analysis of Cell Cycle Position in Mammalian Cells

The regulation of cell proliferation is central to tissue morphogenesis during the development of multicellular organisms. Furthermore, loss of control of cell proliferation underlies the pathology of diseases like cancer. As such there is great need to be able to investigate cell proliferation and quantitate the proportion of cells in each phase of the cell cycle. It is also of vital importance to indistinguishably identify cells that are replicating their DNA within a larger population. Since a cell&prime;s decision to proliferate is made in the G1 phase immediately before initiating DNA synthesis and progressing through the rest of the cell cycle, detection of DNA synthesis at this stage allows for an unambiguous determination of the status of growth regulation in cell culture experiments.
DNA content in cells can be readily quantitated by flow cytometry of cells stained with propidium iodide, a fluorescent DNA intercalating dye. Similarly, active DNA synthesis can be quantitated by culturing cells in the presence of radioactive thymidine, harvesting the cells, and measuring the incorporation of radioactivity into an acid insoluble fraction. We have considerable expertise with cell cycle analysis and recommend a different approach. We Investigate cell proliferation using bromodeoxyuridine/fluorodeoxyuridine (abbreviated simply as BrdU) staining that detects the incorporation of these thymine analogs into recently synthesized DNA. Labeling and staining cells with BrdU, combined with total DNA staining by propidium iodide and analysis by flow cytometry1 offers the most accurate measure of cells in the various stages of the cell cycle. It is our preferred method because it combines the detection of active DNA synthesis, through antibody based staining of BrdU, with total DNA content from propidium iodide. This allows for the clear separation of cells in G1 from early S phase, or late S phase from G2/M. Furthermore, this approach can be utilized to investigate the effects of many different cell stimuli and pharmacologic agents on the regulation of progression through these different cell cycle phases.
In this report we describe methods for labeling and staining cultured cells, as well as their analysis by flow cytometry. We also include experimental examples of how this method can be used to measure the effects of growth inhibiting signals from cytokines such as TGF-&beta;1, and proliferative inhibitors such as the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor, p27KIP1. We also include an alternate protocol that allows for the analysis of cell cycle position in a sub-population of cells within a larger culture5. In this case, we demonstrate how to detect a cell cycle arrest in cells transfected with the retinoblastoma gene even when greatly outnumbered by untransfected cells in the same culture. These examples illustrate the many ways that DNA staining and flow cytometry can be utilized and adapted to investigate fundamental questions of mammalian cell cycle control.

Determining the cell cycle position of a population of cells, or understanding how signals affect proliferation, can be readily measured by flow cytometry using this protocol. We report a simple experimental approach to staining cells and quantifying their position in the cell cycle.

Monitoring Plasmid Replication in Live Mammalian Cells over Multiple Generations by Fluorescence Microscopy

Few naturally-occurring plasmids are maintained in mammalian cells. Among these are genomes of gamma-herpesviruses, including Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi's Sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), which cause multiple human malignancies 1-3. These two genomes are replicated in a licensed manner, each using a single viral protein and cellular replication machinery, and are passed to daughter cells during cell division despite their lacking traditional centromeres 4-8.
Much work has been done to characterize the replications of these plasmid genomes using methods such as Southern blotting and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). These methods are limited, though. Quantitative PCR and Southern blots provide information about the average number of plasmids per cell in a population of cells. FISH is a single-cell assay that reveals both the average number and the distribution of plasmids per cell in the population of cells but is static, allowing no information about the parent or progeny of the examined cell.
Here, we describe a method for visualizing plasmids in live cells. This method is based on the binding of a fluorescently tagged lactose repressor protein to multiple sites in the plasmid of interest 9. The DNA of interest is engineered to include approximately 250 tandem repeats of the lactose operator (LacO) sequence. LacO is specifically bound by the lactose repressor protein (LacI), which can be fused to a fluorescent protein. The fusion protein can either be expressed from the engineered plasmid or introduced by a retroviral vector. In this way, the DNA molecules are fluorescently tagged and therefore become visible via fluorescence microscopy. The fusion protein is blocked from binding the plasmid DNA by culturing cells in the presence of IPTG until the plasmids are ready to be viewed.
This system allows the plasmids to be monitored in living cells through several generations, revealing properties of their synthesis and partitioning to daughter cells. Ideal cells are adherent, easily transfected, and have large nuclei. This technique has been used to determine that 84% of EBV-derived plasmids are synthesized each generation and 88% of the newly synthesized plasmids partition faithfully to daughter cells in HeLa cells. Pairs of these EBV plasmids were seen to be tethered to or associated with sister chromatids after their synthesis in S-phase until they were seen to separate as the sister chromatids separated in Anaphase10. The method is currently being used to study replication of KSHV genomes in HeLa cells and SLK cells. HeLa cells are immortalized human epithelial cells, and SLK cells are immortalized human endothelial cells. Though SLK cells were originally derived from a KSHV lesion, neither the HeLa nor SLK cell line naturally harbors KSHV genomes11. In addition to studying viral replication, this visualization technique can be used to investigate the effects of the addition, removal, or mutation of various DNA sequence elements on synthesis, localization, and partitioning of other recombinant plasmid DNAs.

A method of observing individual DNA molecules in live cells is described. The technique is based on the binding of a fluorescently tagged lac repressor protein to binding sites engineered into the DNA of interest. This method can be adapted to follow many recombinant DNAs in live cells over time.

Analysis of Translation Initiation During Stress Conditions by Polysome Profiling

Precise control of mRNA translation is fundamental for eukaryotic cell homeostasis, particularly in response to physiological and pathological stress. Alterations of this program can lead to the growth of damaged cells, a hallmark of cancer development, or to premature cell death such as seen in neurodegenerative diseases. Much of what is known concerning the molecular basis for translational control has been obtained from polysome analysis using a density gradient fractionation system. This technique relies on ultracentrifugation of cytoplasmic extracts on a linear sucrose gradient. Once the spin is completed, the system allows fractionation and quantification of centrifuged zones corresponding to different translating ribosomes populations, thus resulting in a polysome profile. Changes in the polysome profile are indicative of changes or defects in translation initiation that occur in response to various types of stress. This technique also allows to assess the role of specific proteins on translation initiation, and to measure translational activity of specific mRNAs. Here we describe our protocol to perform polysome profiles in order to assess translation initiation of eukaryotic cells and tissues under either normal or stress growth conditions.

Here, we describe a method to analyze changes in the initiation of mRNA translation of eukaryotic cells in response to stress conditions. This method is based on the velocity separation on sucrose gradients of translating ribosomes from non-translating ribosomes.

Profiling Individual Human Embryonic Stem Cells by Quantitative RT-PCR

Heterogeneity of stem cell population hampers detailed understanding of stem cell biology, such as their differentiation propensity toward different lineages. A single cell transcriptome assay can be a new approach for dissecting individual variation. We have developed the single cell qRT-PCR method, and confirmed that this method works well in several gene expression profiles. In single cell level, each human embryonic stem cell, sorted by OCT4::EGFP positive cells, has high expression in OCT4, but a different level of NANOG expression. Our single cell gene expression assay should be useful to interrogate population heterogeneities.

Single cell gene expression assay is needed for understanding stem cell heterogeneities.

Polysome Fractionation and Analysis of Mammalian Translatomes on a Genome-wide Scale

mRNA translation plays a central role in the regulation of gene expression and represents the most energy consuming process in mammalian cells. Accordingly, dysregulation of mRNA translation is considered to play a major role in a variety of pathological states including cancer. Ribosomes also host chaperones, which facilitate folding of nascent polypeptides, thereby modulating function and stability of newly synthesized polypeptides. In addition, emerging data indicate that ribosomes serve as a platform for a repertoire of signaling molecules, which are implicated in a variety of post-translational modifications of newly synthesized polypeptides as they emerge from the ribosome, and/or components of translational machinery. Herein, a well-established method of ribosome fractionation using sucrose density gradient centrifugation is described. In conjunction with the in-house developed &#8220;anota&#8221; algorithm this method allows direct determination of differential translation of individual mRNAs on a genome-wide scale. Moreover, this versatile protocol can be used for a variety of biochemical studies aiming to dissect the function of ribosome-associated protein complexes, including those that play a central role in folding and degradation of newly synthesized polypeptides.

Ribosomes play a central role in protein synthesis. Polyribosome (polysome) fractionation by sucrose density gradient centrifugation allows direct determination of translation efficiencies of individual mRNAs on a genome-wide scale.

In Vivo 4-Dimensional Tracking of Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells in Adult Mouse Calvarial Bone Marrow

Through a delicate balance between quiescence and proliferation, self renewal and production of differentiated progeny, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) maintain the turnover of all mature blood cell lineages. The coordination of the complex signals leading to specific HSC fates relies upon the interaction between HSCs and the intricate bone marrow microenvironment, which is still poorly understood[1-2].
We describe how by combining a newly developed specimen holder for stable animal positioning with multi-step confocal and two-photon in vivo imaging techniques, it is possible to obtain high-resolution 3D stacks containing HSPCs and their surrounding niches and to monitor them over time through multi-point time-lapse imaging. High definition imaging allows detecting ex vivo labeled hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) residing within the bone marrow. Moreover, multi-point time-lapse 3D imaging, obtained with faster acquisition settings, provides accurate information about HSPC movement and the reciprocal interactions between HSPCs and stroma cells.
Tracking of HSPCs in relation to GFP positive osteoblastic cells is shown as an exemplary application of this method. This technique can be utilized to track any appropriately labeled hematopoietic or stromal cell of interest within the mouse calvarium bone marrow space.

An Easy Method for Plant Polysome Profiling

Translation of mRNA to protein is a fundamental and highly regulated biological process. Polysome profiling is considered as a gold standard for the analysis of translational regulation. The method described here is an easy and economical way for fractionating polysomes from various plant tissues. A sucrose gradient is made without the need for a gradient maker by sequentially freezing each layer. Cytosolic extracts are then prepared in a buffer containing cycloheximide and chloramphenicol to immobilize the cytosolic and chloroplastic ribosomes to mRNA and are loaded onto the sucrose gradient. After centrifugation, six fractions are directly collected from the bottom to the top of the gradient, without piercing the ultracentrifugation tube. During collection, the absorbance at 260 nm is read continuously to generate a polysome profile that gives a snapshot of global translational activity. Fractions are then pooled to prepare three different mRNA populations: the polysomes, mRNAs bound to several ribosomes; the monosomes, mRNAs bound to one ribosome; and mRNAs that are not bound to ribosomes. mRNAs are then extracted. This protocol has been validated for different plants and tissues including Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings and adult plants, Nicotiana benthamiana, Solanum lycopersicum, and Oryza sativa leaves.

This protocol describes an easy method to extract and fractionate transcripts from plant tissues on the basis of the number of bound ribosomes. It allows a global estimate of translation activity and the determination of the translational status of specific mRNAs.

A Graphical User Interface for Software-assisted Tracking of Protein Concentration in Dynamic Cellular Protrusions

Filopodia are dynamic, finger-like cellular protrusions associated with migration and cell-cell communication. In order to better understand the complex signaling mechanisms underlying filopodial initiation, elongation and subsequent stabilization or retraction, it is crucial to determine the spatio-temporal protein activity in these dynamic structures. To analyze protein function in filopodia, we recently developed a semi-automated tracking algorithm that adapts to filopodial shape-changes, thus allowing parallel analysis of protrusion dynamics and relative protein concentration along the whole filopodial length. Here, we present a detailed step-by-step protocol for optimized cell handling, image acquisition and software analysis. We further provide instructions for the use of optional features during image analysis and data representation, as well as troubleshooting guidelines for all critical steps along the way. Finally, we also include a comparison of the described image analysis software with other programs available for filopodia quantification. Together, the presented protocol provides a framework for accurate analysis of protein dynamics in filopodial protrusions using image analysis software.

We present a software solution for semi-automated tracking of relative protein concentration along the length of dynamic cellular protrusions.

Probing mRNA Kinetics in Space and Time in Escherichia coli using Two-Color Single-Molecule Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization

Single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) allows for counting the absolute number of mRNAs in individual cells. Here, we describe an application of smFISH to measure the rates of transcription and mRNA degradation in Escherichia coli. As smFISH is based on fixed cells, we perform smFISH at multiple time points during a time-course experiment, i.e., when cells are undergoing synchronized changes upon induction or repression of gene expression. At each time point, sub-regions of an mRNA are spectrally distinguished to probe transcription elongation and premature termination. The outcome of this protocol also allows for analyzing intracellular localization of mRNAs and heterogeneity in mRNA copy numbers among cells. Using this protocol many samples (~50) can be processed within 8 h, like the amount of time needed for just a few samples. We discuss how to apply this protocol to study the transcription and degradation kinetics of different mRNAs in bacterial cells.
