In this episode, we dive into the innovative application of CRISPR-Csm systems for real-time RNA imaging in live cells at the single-molecule level. The discussion covers how this CRISPR-based technique surpasses traditional RNA tracking methods in terms of specificity, resolution, and live-cell compatibility. Listeners will gain insights into the mechanism of Csm complexes, their ability to target endogenous RNA without the need for RNA modification, and their potential in studying dynamic RNA processes in health and disease. Ideal for researchers, students, and enthusiasts in synthetic biology, molecular biology, and bioimaging technologies.
