Live cell imaging of single genomic loci with quantum dot-labeled TALEs

Visualizing single genomic loci in living cells remains technically challenging. Here the authors adopt a strategy of labelling a pair of transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) with differently coloured quantum dots and use them to identify integrated HIV-1 proviral DNA sequences in living c...
