It was a great meeting. I hope we can do it again in 2 years. #EMBLsinglemolecule. Single mol omics and imaging is very promising combo to dissect gene regulation.
#EMBLsinglemolecule was a blast! Happy to host the birth of single molecule genomics as a field and to think about the future with the microscopy crowd. Thanks to participants and organizers!
