The Suntag was developed by researchers in the lab of Ron Vale Phd a professor of molecular and cellular pharmacology and a HHMI investigator at UCSF.
Vale received the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award in 2012 for his discovery of molecular motors that ferry cargo around within cells.
The Vale team used the Suntag to greatly amplify the light-emitting signal from the green fluorescent protein commonly used by researchers to label molecules within cells.
Viewed through a microscope the signal that can be obtained with the Suntag is so strong it can be used to track a single molecule within the molecular motors that Vale studies.
but especially for switching genes on the previously reported methods were inefficient according to Vale. It depends on the gene
but this new approach appears to amplify gene-switching by as much as 50-fold Vale said.
