Technologies such as proteomics provide a snapshot of a specific cellular state but are unable to directly record successive signalling events. Two new CRISPR-mediated analogue multi-event recording apparatus (CAMERA) systems enable sequential recording of endogenous and exogenous signalling events by targeted DNA modifications, thereby allowing systematic interrogation of different cellular states.
