๐ŸŽฏ๐Ÿ  I've been away for a while. But here:
I wrote a blog post on "Imaging mRNA modifications in situ"

Featuring: m6AISH-PLA, ARPLA (on #glycoRNA) & DART-FISH.

Imaging mRNA modifications in situ

There are at least 170 known chemical modifications on RNA molecules in all organisms. Most of these modifications are on tRNAs, rRNAs and small RNAs. But over the past two decades, researchers fouโ€ฆ

Wow! ๐Ÿ’ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ”ฅ
This is so cool!
In this paper,
"Spatially resolved single-cell translatomics at molecular resolution", they used a tri-probe FISH system combined with in situ amplification and in situ sequencing to detect multiplex translating mRNAs at sub-cellular resolution in cell culture (981 genes) and mouse brain tissue slices (5413 genes!).

Wow!
looks like super awesome method from Long Cai lab

"High-resolution spatial multi-omics reveals cell-type specific nuclear compartments"

They did mRNA #seqFISH+ (1200 genes, 17K introns), DNA seqFISH+ (100K loci) and #immunofluorescence (up to 65 antibodies) all in the same experiment!
200+ rounds of #imaging! That's incredible.

HT-smFISH: a cost-effective and flexible workflow for high-throughput single-molecule RNA imaging - Nature Protocols

In HT-smFISH, multiple RNA probes are generated by parallel in vitro transcription from a large pool of unlabeled oligonucleotides. This reduces costs per targeted RNA compared with many smFISH methods and is easily scalable and flexible in design.

I tried the original protocol a few years ago and didn't work well. inconsistent labeling (some good, some poor) and wasn't *that* cheap.
but maybe time to re-visit this protocol with this improved version:

RS-FISH is a new #FIJI plugin for single-molecule FISH analysis
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-022-01669-y
I spent an hour playing with it. Installation was very easy & instructions of use are clear. I got nice spot detection on a not-so-nice FISH image.
I need to learn more about this tool, particularly using with masks & batch processing - but seems very nice & easy to use.
