Abstract

A combination of two fluorescent proteins with different half-lives allows gene expression to be followed with improved time resolution.

  • Different types of cells contain different constellations of RNA molecules and proteins. These aspects of cell identity are controlled by gene expression – the process by which genes are transcribed to form messenger RNA molecules, some of which are translated to produce proteins

  • Fluorescent proteins are widely used as reporters for gene expression

Summary

Introduction

Related research article He L, Binari R, Huang J, Falo-Sanjuan J, Perrimon N. 2019. In vivo study of gene expression with an enhanced dual-color fluorescent transcriptional timer. eLife 8:e46181. C ells are dynamic places and the levels of gene products – RNA molecules and proteins – inside a given cell change over time. These aspects of cell identity are controlled by gene expression – the process by which genes are transcribed to form messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, some of which are translated to produce proteins.
