Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for creating molecular barcodes or indicia for cellular constituents within single cells and for resolving such barcodes or indicia with super-resolution technologies such as super-resolution microscopy. By this approach, numerous molecular species that can be measured simultaneously in single cells. It has been demonstrated that multiple mRNA transcripts can be labeled with a spatially ordered sequence of fluorophores, and that barcodes can be resolved. In addition, alternative splicing events can be characterized by identifying and quantifying mRNA isoforms in an individual cell.
