Authors Dankovich TM, Rizzoli SO Journal iScience Citation iScience. 2021 Feb 3;24(3):102134. Abstract Optical super-resolution microscopy (SRM) has enabled biologists to visualize cellular structures with near-molecular resolution, giving unprecedented access to details about the amounts, sizes and spatial distributions of macromolecules in the cell. Precisely quantifying these molecular details requires

Authors Sakib MS, Sokpor G, Nguyen HP, Fischer A, Tuoc T Journal Star Protocols Citation STAR Protoc. 2021 Feb 2;2(1):100318. Abstract Cell sorting can be used to purify cell populations for cell type-specific molecular probing. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) coupled with high-throughput sequencing affords molecular signature identification for specific cell
