Abstract

We describe a method for fluorescent in situ identification of individual mRNA molecules, allowing quantitative and accurate measurements of allele-specific transcripts that differ by only a few nucleotides, in single cells. By using a combination of allele-specific and non-allele-specific probe libraries, we achieve over 95% detection accuracy. We investigate the allele-specific stochastic expression of the pluripotency factor Nanog in murine embryonic stem cells.
