Epigenetic modifications control the stability and translation of mRNA molecules. Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School have developed a microscopy-based platform for quantifying modified RNA molecules and for relating the modification patterns to single-cell phenotypes. The researchers ...
