We present Nanopore-DamID, a method to simultaneously detect cytosine methylation and DNA-protein interactions from single molecules, via selective sequencing of adenine-labelled DNA. Assaying LaminB1 and CTCF binding with Nanopore-DamID, we identify escape from LAD-associated repression of hypomethylated promoters amidst generalised hypermethylation of LaminB1-associated regulatory elements. We detect novel CTCF binding sites in highly repetitive regions, and allele-specific CTCF binding to imprinted genes and the active X chromosome. Nanopore-DamID highlights the importance of DNA methylation to transcription factor activity.
