Bioluminescence imaging reveals the long-term dynamics of individual gene expression in a single cell. However, methods for simultaneously imaging multiple gene expression patterns have been unknown to date. Here, we constructed a dual-path optical luminescence imaging system using a two-color reporter system and could simultaneously track two gene expression patterns for several days in a single cell.
