Real time, in-line optical mapping of single molecules of DNA

DNA optical mapping in nanochannels allows studying intact molecules and analyzing their long-range structure at the single-molecule level. Recent efforts have demonstrated that optical mapping can be used for various biomedical applications, such as bacteria identification, analysis of tumor cells,...
