Analysis of our Data
Single-cell analysis was done using flow-cytometry. Flow cytometry measurements were taken using a BD LSR-II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). For each sample, 10,000 cells were counted, and GFP fluorescence was measured by exciting at 488 nm with a 100 mW Coherent Sapphire laser. Cells that were positive for GFP are seen in the microscope images on the lower right panel and their predicted population distribution is shown in the green curve in the ficticious graph in the left (below).
The Properties of Our Synthetic Chromatin Bit
We studied how our yeast synthetic chromatin system behaves...
