Researchers at the Technion and their partners abroad present an outline for significant breakthroughs in deciphering the protein profile of a single cell, something that will advance the field of personalized medicine. A review article by the international research group, recently published in the journal Nature Methods, describes the newest developments in these fields
![The optical tweezers on the right begin to unravel the DNA into its two strands. When the primer reaches the chromosome, it will be stopped by contacts between the histones [in yellow, pink and blue] and the DNA, and thus it will be possible to check whether it is an open (bottom right) or tight (bottom left) chromosome.](https://www.hayadan.org.il/images/content3/2021/07/2-2-768x536.png)
