Light-sensitive molecules reportedly enable spatially resolved single-cell measurements
Nature Biotechnology describes a light-sensitive oligonucleotide system for studying how the epigenome regulates gene expression, using measurements of individual cells in spatial context.
TLDR
Nature Biotechnology reports that photolabile, or light-sensitive, oligonucleotides combined with topological light gradients enable spatially resolved measurements of gene activity and the epigenome in individual cells. The publisher says the system can show how the epigenome regulates gene expression.
