Guo and Lee Publish in Cell Reports Methods

Guo and Lee use computational and synthetic biology approaches to develop a new method called SunRISER for visualizing single mRNA molecules in living cells. By observing cells over timescales of a full day, they show that environmental stresses lead to heterogeneity between genetically identical sister cells through asymmetric mitotic mRNA inheritance. They argue that asymmetric inheritance can rapidly diversify individuals among cancer cell populations leading to robustness against harsh and nutrient-limited environments.
