Researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle describe this finding in the journal Cell Reports. “The beauty of this approach is we can safely upregulate specific genes to affect cell activity without permanently changing the genome and cause unintended mistakes,” Levy said. .

using SNAP-tag) involves labeling cell proteins with a fluorescent dye, thereby enabling researchers to observe how proteins interact in the living cell and where in the cell they are located. With Spirochrome, he commercialized fluorescent probes for cell biology, while with Covalys, he marketed SNAP-tag and other protein labeling methods.
