title: Chromosomal analysis and identification based on optical tweezers and Raman spectroscopy: reply.
abstract: We appreciate the authors' comments in their reply: "On the identification of chromosomes with Raman spectroscopy: a critical comment" [Opt. Express 15, 5997 (2007)]. Their main concern with our paper is asking if the collected spectra have shown the identification or differentiation between three human chromosomes. We think this comment is flawed because the authors misunderstood the main points of the original paper and interpreted the presented spectra data (Fig. 3 and Table 1) incorrectly.
