Multiplexed mapping of chromatin features at single-cell resolution

Single-cell nanobody-tethered transposition followed by sequencing (scNTT-seq) is a new assay that measures the genome-wide presence of multiple histone modifications and protein–DNA binding sites at single-cell resolution. scNTT-seq generates high-resolution multimodal maps of chromatin states with high accuracy and sensitivity.
