Translation is one of the many critical cellular activities regulated by viruses following host-cell invasion, and studies of viral mRNA translation kinetics and subcellular localization require techniques for the dynamic, real-time visualization of translation. However, conventional tools for imaging mRNA translation often require coding region modifications that may affect native translation. Here, we achieve dynamic imaging of translation with a tool that labels target mRNAs with unmodified coding regions using a CRISPR/dCas13 system with specific complementary paired guide RNAs. This system enables a real-time dynamic visualization of the translation process and is a promising tool for further investigations of the mechanisms of translation.
