Over the past five years, technological advances have made it possible to image the translation of single mRNA in the natural context of living cells. With these advances, researchers are beginning to shed light on when, where, and to what degree mRNA are translated with single-molecule precision. These works provide insight into the heterogeneity of translation amongst single transcripts, behavior that is averaged out in complementary bulk assays. In this review, we discuss the rapidly maturing field of live-cell, single-mRNA imaging of translation, beginning with a brief overview of recent technological advances. The remainder of the review focuses on the new biological insights gained from these technologies. We conclude with a discussion of the future of this technology.
