Transcriptional bursts regulate gene expression by altering burst size or burst frequency. Here, we present a protocol that integrates fixed-cell smFISH and live-cell single-molecule imaging to analyze estrogen-responsive transcriptional bursting of the TFF1 gene in human breast cancer cell lines. This workflow enables measurement of burst size, burst initiation, and active allele frequency to determine how endocrine disruptor chemicals modulate transcriptional bursting dynamics. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Day, Yasar et al.1
