Protocol for the spatiotemporal profiling of RNA within nuclear compartments in human cell lines using SLAM-RT&Tag.

Measuring RNA residence time within nuclear compartments provides insight into their roles as either storage sites or transient processing hubs. This protocol describes SLAM-RT&Tag, a genomic technique that integrates RNA metabolic labeling with RT&Tag, an RNA proximity labeling method. We detail steps for RNA labeling, library preparation, and computational quantification of T-to-C conversion events to infer RNA dynamics within nuclear compartments in human cell lines. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Khyzha et al..
