Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, current methods typically involve multi-step processing that contributes to high intra- and inter-assay variation.
Consequently, current methods do not provide live, dynamic, and location-specific imaging and measurements of mRNA, because the cells are exposed to environmental changes.
However, the complexity and richness in cellular assay data sets, compared to genomics and proteomics studies, will provide scientists with unparalleled tools to aid discovery efforts throughout the discovery process and for basic research applications.

PA Sensors: Constructs and Methods for Measuring RNA Transcripts in Living Cells

[0315] In one aspect, the present invention provides sensors for detecting and measuring mRNA in living cells (also known as PAC probes for mRNA) and methods of controlling activation of such mRNA sensors in living cells. In one class of embodiments, the sensor is attached to one or more photo-labile groups that protect the sensor from extra-cellular and intra-cellular degradation and, at the same time, inactivate the sensor. Upon exposure to light of a specific wavelength, the phot...

Abstract

Methods of using labeled interfering RNAs to detect and / or quantitate target mRNAs in cells are provided. Related compositions, systems, and kits are also provided. Caged interfering RNAs (e.g., photoactivatable interfering RNAs), methods of using such caged RNAs, and related systems and kits are also provided. Caged RNAs capable of repressing translation of a target mRNA or silencing transcription of a target gene are also provided, along with related methods, systems, and kits. Methods and compositions for introducing RNAs into cells, using RNAs covalently associated with protein transduction domains and / or lipids, are provided. Also provided are methods and compositions for selectively attenuating expression of a target mRNA by controlling expression of an interfering RNA, an RNA capable of initiating translation repression, or an RNA capable of initiating transcriptional silencing.
