A T4 phage can hold 171,000 bases of DNA or other molecules, including proteins and RNA. For context, the AAV9 that is often used in gene therapies has a packaging limit of 4,700 DNA bases.) It uses single-molecule RNA fluorescence to measure mRNAs and fluorescent reporters to measure the proteins. Paper by Sha G. in Nature.
