Hypermutation at the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus in a pre-B-cell line.

abstract：:Reversible photoswitching of individual molecules has been demonstrated for a number of mutants of the green fluorescent protein (GFP). To date, however, a limited number of switching events with slow response to light have been achieved at the single-molecule level. Here, we report reversible photoswitching character...
