Claim One:
1. A method for performing epigenetic analysis of a genetic material in a channel, comprising: (a) flowing the genetic material through said channel, wherein said genetic material is labeled with a plurality of labels, at least one of which is specifically complexed with an epigenetic marker on said genetic material, and at least one other label is complexed with a protein and/or nucleotide of said genetic material; (b) illuminating the channel to create a plurality of interrogation volumes, each of which is confined by walls of said channel and a beam of light; and (c) detecting the at least one label and the one other label from the same or distinct interrogation volumes of said plurality to generate time-correlated resolution of said at least one and said at least one other label, thereby performing said epigenetic analysis.
