Abstract

Quantitative profiling of mRNA expression is an important part of understanding the state of a cell. The technique of RNA Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) involves targeting an RNA transcript with a set of 40 complementary fluorescently labeled DNA oligonucleotide probes. However, there are many circumstances such as transcripts shorter than 200 nt, splicing variations, or alternate initiation sites that create transcripts that would be indistinguishable to a set of multiple probes. To this end we adapted the standard FISH protocol to allow the use of a single probe with a single fluorophore to quantify the amount of transcripts inside budding yeast cells. In addition to allowing the quantification of short transcripts or short features of transcripts, this technique reduces the cost of performing FISH.

Background

Precise quantification of the transcript profile of single cells is possible by single molecule Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (smFISH). This procedure gives good signal to noise by targeting a single mRNA molecule with multiple fluorescently labeled DNA oligo probes (Raj and Tyagi, 2010). Using this scheme, mRNA of length shorter than 200 nucleotides cannot be detected. However, in most experiments, the absolute transcript copy number is less informative than the relative copy number. To detect short transcripts or sequences, a short single DNA oligo probe can be used. The detection efficiency of a single probe is greater than 50 percent when using a single fluorophore to count mRNA (Wadsworth et al., 2017).
