Optical detection of epigenetic marks
Introduction
Hi, I'm Yuval Ebenstein and Since August 2011 I have been leading the NanoBioPhotonics research group in Tel-Aviv university. We explore some exciting biological systems utilizing tools and reagents from the realm of nano-technology. We try learning new things about these systems by zooming in on individuals - single cells, single chromosomes and single molecules.
Research in the lab is highly multi and inter disciplinary and our team is composed of chemists, biologists and physicists who are interested in learning from each other and doing some great (but sometimes risky...) stuff at the very forefront of science. I'll try updating news here as well but....
*************We now have a real website*************

Optical detection of epigenetic marks: sensitive quantification and direct imaging of individual hydroxymethylcytosine bases
The first 100% independent work from our lab and the first of its kind observation of individual epigenetic modifications in genomic DNA. Just published in Chemical Communications. Check it out
Beyond sequencing: optical mapping of DNA in the age of nanotechnology and nanoscopy
We were very happy to be invited to write this short review for a special issue on bio-nano-technology in Current opinion in biotechnology. It really gave us the opportunity to see what was going on in the field and to refine our opinion on where this technology is going. Read the review here

Stretching DNA molecules in nanochannels allows structural and copy-number variations to be visualized like beads on a string.
We wrote a News & Views for Nature Biotechnology about the the very cool paper
Genome mapping on nanochannel arrays for structural variation analysis and sequence assembly by the teams of Ming Xiao and Pui-Yan Kwok.
