Force measurements of DNA transcription have been performed and selective DNA molecule micromanipulation gives insight into single molecule behaviour. Retrivement of selected single cells without contamination is an important prerequisite for further processing with modern methods of molecular biology. Laser micro-dissection allows to precisely eliminate any unwanted material or to isolate pieces of chromosomes or single cells of interest with high accuracy and efficiency. This enables the cell or chromosome specific molecular analysis of genes and genetic defects underlying disease, such as cancer or infection.
