Systematically Dissecting the Regulatory Logic of Chromatin Modifications
Chromatin modifications are a key mechanism for regulating gene expression patterns in normal and disease settings. Nonetheless, despite the ubiquity of epigenomics data, the causal functions of specific chromatin modifications have proved challenging to unravel. This knowledge gap reflects limited approaches to dissect how chromatin modifications influence transcription quantitatively and context-dependently, across diverse genomic features or variants in any given cell-type. Here, we propose to systematically interrogate the functional impact of specific- and combinatorial- chromatin modifications within tens-of-thousands of contexts in living cells, using a novel modular epigenome…
