New method maps DNA folding and epigenetic marks in single cells
Researchers have created a new method to map the folding of DNA and epigenetic marks in individual cells. This technique allows for a more detailed understanding of how DNA is structured within single cells. The procedure could aid scientists in studying the relationship between DNA structure and disease.
