摘要

Gene regulation is orchestrated by the co-binding of proteins along chromosome-length chromatin fibers within single cells, yet the heterogeneity of this occupancy between haplotypes and cells remains poorly resolved in diploid organisms. Here we present Deaminase-Assisted single-molecule chromatin Fiber sequencing (DAF-seq), which enables single-molecule footprinting at near-nucleotide resolution while synchronously profiling single-molecule chromatin states and DNA sequence. DAF-seq illuminates cooperative protein occupancy at individual regulatory elements and resolves the functional impact of somatic variants and rare chromatin epialleles. Single-cell DAF-seq (scDAF-seq) generates chromosome-length protein co-occupancy maps across 99% of each individual cell’s mappable genome. scDAF-seq uncovers extensive chromatin plasticity both within and between single diploid cells, with chromatin actuation diverging by 61% between haplotypes within a cell, and 63% between cells. Moreover, we find that regulatory elements are preferentially co-actuated along the same fiber in a distance-dependent manner that mirrors cohesin-mediated loops. Overall, DAF-seq enables the characterization of protein occupancy across entire chromosomes with single-nucleotide, single-molecule, single-haplotype and single-cell precision.
