Development is orchestrated in part by myriad chromatin-associated proteins that decorate the genome and physically coordinate in ways that are often unclear. An epigenomics technique called MulTI-Tag maps the genomic locations of different chromatin proteins in the same individual cells, helping to unveil their interactions.
