Abstract
- Single cell analysis is of great significance to biological and biomedical research. With recent development, lots of in situ amplification methods have been applied for imaging the spatial location of specific biomolecules in situ in single cells. In particular, RCA is a simple and efficient isothermal amplification method, which can locally amplify the fluorescent signal in situ. Due to the ability of detecting single molecules directly in cells and tissues, RCA has been widely used for illustrating many important biological processes. In this review, we summarize recent development of RCA-based method for single cell analysis and discuss their applications. Moreover, we emphasize the utilization of RCA for in situ sequencing, which is a very interesting and emerging research field. • The basic mechanism of rolling circle amplification (RCA) for in situ single cell imaging is summarized. • RCA can be used for analysis of various targets in situ in single cells, including gene expression, single-nucleotide variation, mRNA splicing and protein post-translation modification. • The utilization of RCA for in situ sequencing are discussed.
