[Abstract]  Quantitative profiling of mRNA expression is an important part of understanding the state of a cell. The technique of RNA Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) involves targeting an RNA transcript with a set of 40 complementary fluorescently labeled DNA oligonucleotide probes. However, there are many circumstances such as transcripts shorter than 200 nt, splicing variations, or alternate initiation sites that create transcripts that would be indistinguishable to a set of multiple probes. To this end we adapted the standard FISH protocol to allow the use of a single probe with a single fluorophore to quantify the amount of transcripts inside budding yeast cells. In addition to allowing the quantification of short transcripts or short features of transcripts, this technique ... [摘要]  mRNA表达的定量分析是理解细胞状态的重要部分。 RNA荧光原位杂交(FISH)技术涉及用一组40个互补的荧光标记的DNA寡核苷酸探针靶向RNA转录物。 然而,许多情况下,如转录本短于200 nt,剪接变异,或创建转录本的替代起始位点,这些转录本与一组多重探针无法区分。 为此,我们调整了标准FISH方案,以允许使用具有单个荧光团的单个探针来量化出芽酵母细胞内的转录物的量。 除了允许定量短转录本或转录本的短特征之外,该技术还降低了执行FISH的成本。

【背景】通过单分子荧光原位杂交(smFISH)可以精确定量单细胞转录谱。 该过程通过用多个荧光标记的DNA寡核苷酸探针靶向单个mRNA分子给出了良好的噪声信号(Raj和Tyagi,2010)。 使用该方案,不能检测到长度短于200个核苷酸的mRNA。 然而,在大多数实验中,绝对转录本拷贝数比相对拷贝数少。 为了检测短的转录物或序列,可以使用短的单个DNA寡核苷酸探针。 当使用单个荧光团计数mRNA时,单个探针的检测效率大于50%(Wadsworth等人,2017)。
