Preface
Inthelastcoupleofyears,researchbasedonhigh-throughputassaysrevealedthattheRNA
world is much more complex than initially anticipated entangling virtually all areas of cell
anddevelopmentalbiology.Semiautomatedvisualscreensdemonstratedthatlargefraction
ofthetranscriptomeisdistributednonuniformlywithinthecell,suggestingthepresenceof
underlying active localization mechanisms. On the other hand, the nonbiased capture of
RNA interactome showed that 8–10% of the total proteome could directly bind (m)RNA,
including hundreds of novel RNA binding proteins, such as enzymes of fundamental
biosynthesis pathways, components of the cytoskeleton, the endocytosis, and secretory
pathways. Some of these novel RNA-binding proteins harbor low-complexity domains,
making them capable of spontaneously self-assembling into higher-order structures both
invitroandinvivo,dynamicallyformingRNA-containingmembranelessorganelles,suchas
Cajal bodies, nuclear speckles, and paraspeckles, RNA and stress granules, nuage or germ
granules.Inspecimenpreviouslyconsideredhomogeneousincludingtumorousmalforma-
tions,quantitativeRNAimagingandcorrelativehigh-contentimagingcoupledwithsingle
cell transcriptome analysis demonstrated a high degree of heterogeneity which directly
impacts prognosis and possible therapy. As revealed by in vivo functional assays of single-
molecule sensitivity, thisheterogeneityis mainlydue to the stochastic nature ofthe under-
lyingbiologicalprocesses,suchastranscriptionandtranslation.
The advances in RNA biology render advanced RNA detection and visualization tools
invaluable to cell and developmental biologists as well as to medical researchers and
practicing clinicians. Although the amount of technology development in the last couple
ofyearsrendersitimpossibletocovereverypossibleaspectsofRNAdetection,thisvolume
aims to introduce the various concepts and the methods of detecting RNA in biological
materialinavarietyofmodelsystems.Thedetailedprotocolsandthetipsandtricksofthe
presentedassayswillallowtheoptimizationandtheadaptationofthesemethodstoaddress
different biological questions of RNA, and hopefully, this volume of the MiMB series
becomes a useful everyday companion of every novel or experienced scientists of the
expandingRNAworld.
