  • MAPPING THE SPATIAL LOCALIZATION OF CELLULAR NUCLEIC ACIDS BY PROXIMITY-DEPENDENT ENZYMATIC TAGGING
    Publication number: 20170226561
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for mapping the spatial localization of cellular nucleic acids by proximity-dependent enzymatic tagging are described. In particular, proximity-specific biotinylation of nucleic acids is combined with sequencing to identify nucleic acids, including DNA or RNA molecules in proximity to a protein of interest or within or near a particular subcellular compartment in vivo.

  • METHODS FOR ISOLATING ENDOGENOUS NUCLEIC ACIDS FROM SUBCELLULAR COMPARTMENTS WITHOUT FRACTIONATION
    Publication number: 20170227531
    Abstract: Methods of determining subcellular localization of nucleic acids, including RNA and DNA are described. In particular, the invention relates to a method combining proximity-specific labeling with crosslinking of nucleic acids to proteins and sequencing to identify nucleic acids within or near a particular subcellular compartment in vivo.

  • CONTROLLED MODIFICATION OF SEMICONDUCTOR NANOCRYSTALS
    Publication number: 20110059467
    Abstract: A controlled valency semiconductor nanocrystal can have a desired number of compounds associated with it. The semiconductor nanocrystal can have exactly one compound associated with it, and the compound can have exactly one binding site for an affinity target. The semiconductor nanocrystal can be used to image single copies of cell-surface proteins.
