New method allows scientists to follow gene activity over time in the same cells

Broad Institute researchers have developed a live-cell transcriptomic method that enables repeated sampling of a cell population over time, providing a long-term view not possible with other methods. In the new approach, cells are engineered to use viral proteins to package and export their RNA that...
