Fig. 1. The mechanism of Cell-TALKING.
a A conceptual view of probing one-to-many cellular nanoenvironments. Individual DNA probe for T site needs to continuously cleave any proximal probes for interested biomolecules (1, 2, 3,…N) in fixed cells. New 3′-OH ends are generated on the cleaved probes, which will be detected by DNA amplification. b Schematic workflow of probing the nanoenvironment of chromatin modifications using Cell-TALKING. The nanoenvironment of three DNA modifications (5hmC, 5hmU, and 5fU) around one histone PTM is detected here as an example.
