Abstract
The central dogma teaches us that DNA makes RNA, which in turn makes proteins, the main building blocks of the cell. But this over simplified linear transmission of information overlooks the vast majority of the genome produces RNAs that do not encode proteins and the myriad ways that RNA regulates cellular functions. Historically, one of the challenges in illuminating RNA biology has been the lack of tools for visualizing RNA in live cells. But clever approaches for exploiting RNA binding proteins, invitro RNA evolution, and chemical biology have resulted in significant advances in RNA visualization tools in recent years. This review provides an overview of current tools for tagging RNA with fluorescent probes and tracking their dynamics, localization andfunction in live mammalian cells.
