Hidden Markov model analysis to fluorescence blinking of fluorescently labeled DNA

Tatsuhiro Furuta, Shuya Fan, Tadao Takada +5

We examine quantitatively the transition process from emitting to not-emitting states of fluorescent molecules with a machine learning technique. In a fluorescently labeled DNA, th…
