Recent advances in fluorescence microscopy have now made it possible to measure the translation dynamics of individual RNA in living cells and in multiple colors. Here we describe a protocol that exploits these recent advances to simultaneously image the translation of two open reading frames encoded on a single reporter RNA yet frameshifted with respect to each other. This enables precise measurements of frameshifting dynamics and efficiency from specific frameshift stimulatory sequences, all with single-RNA precision.
