Our aim is to develop new RNA detection probe which is capable of cell selection based on genetic signal. First, we synthesized red fluorescent probe to offer very high signal and background ratio. Next, the probe was designed to target miRNA which is expressed in stem cells. As a result, we confirmed specific miRNA signal in model cells. Now, we are trying to isolate cells with specific miRNA signal.
