Accurately quantifying the functional consequences of non-coding mosaic variants requires the pairing of DNA sequence with both accessible and closed chromatin architectures along individual DNA molecules--a pairing that cannot be achieved using traditional fragmentation-based chromatin assays. We demonstrate that targeted single-molecule chromatin fiber sequencing (Fiber-seq) achieves this, permitting single-molecule, long-read genomic and epigenomic profiling across targeted >100 kilobase loci with [~]10-fold enrichment over untargeted sequencing. Targeted Fiber-seq reveals that pathogenic expansions of the DMPK CTG repeat that underlie Myotonic Dystrophy 1 are characterized by somatic instability and disruption of multiple nearby regulatory elements, both of which are repeat length-dependent. Furthermore, we reveal that therapeutic adenine base editing of the segmentally duplicated {gamma}-globin (HBG1/HBG2) promoters in primary human hematopoietic cells induced towards an erythroblast lineage increases the accessibility of the HBG1 promoter as well as neighboring regulatory elements. Overall, we find that these non-protein coding mosaic variants can have complex impacts on chromatin architectures, including extending beyond the regulatory element harboring the variant.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
