CRISPR PRO-LiveFISH enables simultaneous live-cell imaging of up to six non-repetitive genomic loci using as few as 10 sgRNAs without signal amplification.
- Why it matters: Current approaches struggle to track 3D genome dynamics, promoter–enhancer contacts, and epigenetic influences at non-repetitive loci in living cells.
- What they did: The method combines orthogonal bases from expanded genetic alphabet technology with rational sgRNA design, then labels multiple loci in diverse cell types, including primary cells.
- The result: It reveals enhancer–promoter dynamics linked to epigenetic states, shows PCDHα-enhancer interactions may persist despite spatial mobility, and indicates BRD4 maintains super-enhancer contacts regulating MYC in cancer cells.
