Programmable RNA Tracking in Live Cells with CRISPR/Cas9


Highlights

  • RNA-targeting Cas9 (RCas9) enabled recognition of endogenous, unmodified mRNAs
  • RCas9 did not influence mRNA abundance or amount of translated protein
  • Subcellular distribution of RCas9 was highly correlated with RNA-FISH
  • RCas9 revealed trafficking of mRNAs to stress granules in live cells
