ARTR-seq uses antibody-guided in situ reverse transcription to efficiently and accurately identify RNA-binding protein target sites in as few as 20 cells, or in a formaldehyde-fixed tissue section. The high temporal resolution of ARTR-seq opens opportunities for the investigation of dynamic RNA-binding protein–RNA interactions.
