Transcription kinetics of actively transcribing genes in vivo have generally been measured using tandem gene arrays. However, tandem arrays do not reflect the endogenous state of genome organization in which genes appear as single alleles. Here we present a robust technique for the quantification of mRNA synthesis from a single allele in real time in single living mammalian cells. The protocol describes how to generate cell clones harboring an MS2-tagged allele and how to detect in vivo transcri ...[more]
