TANGO (Targeted Array-based Nucleic acid-Guided Occupancy), a high-density DNA-array platform that quantitatively profiles intrinsic dCas9:gRNA binding across tens of thousands of DNA targets in a cell-free system, establishes intrinsic DNA recognition as a quantitative and experimentally accessible determinant of dCas9 function.
It is demonstrated that local nucleosome sequence and structure profoundly influence Cas nuclease accessibility and specificity, with HIFIv1 emerging as the top-performing nuclease for nucleosomal targets, while evoSpCas9 excelled in exposed contexts.

It is shown that short RNAs can directly occupy the canonical crRNA-binding channel and trigger a catalytically competent trans cleavage state in the absence of PAM recognition or canonical R-loop formation.

A comparative overview of major PDI technologies organized according to the biological scale at which they operate is provided, including sequence- and chromatin-based binding prediction, multi-omics integration, and regulatory network inference.
Fiber-seq simultaneously profiles chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, protein footprints, and genetic variation on single molecules at near—base-pair resolution, revealing how genetic and epigenetic features interact to regulate gene expression and provides a powerful new framework for dissecting immune cell function and disease mechanisms.
