This invention relates to the detection of fusion proteins. The invention provides a set of at least a first and a second molecular probe, each probe provided with a dye wherein the dyes together allow energy transfer, at least one probe provided with a reactive group allowing juxtaposing at least the first and second probes wherein the reactive group allows to modulate of juxtaposing the probes such that there is an increased likelihood of energy transfer between the dyes. A method is provided which permits detecting the presence of a fusion protein in a cell at the single cell level.
