Extract

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and its variants have become powerful tools with which to study the dynamics of many fundamental processes in living cells. I will first discuss the advantages of GFP and important parameters that one must consider in performing live-cell microscopy experiments including how to keep cells happy on the microscope stage. I will then go on to discuss work from our laboratory using multiple microscopic approaches to address questions related to gene expression.

Many of the basic processes that are essential for normal cell growth and division are regulated in the nucleus, ie. DNA replication, transcription, RNA processing and transport. The organization of these functions in the nucleus must be highly controlled in order to enable cells and/or the entire organism to function properly. However, relatively little has been known about the relationship of nuclear organization to gene expression.
