The accuracy of crucial nuclear processes such as transcription, replication, and repair, depends on the local composition of chromatin and the regulatory proteins that reside there. Understanding these DNA-protein interactions at the level of specific genomic loci has remained challenging due to technical limitations. Here, we introduce a method termed "DNA O-MAP", which uses programmable peroxidase-conjugated oligonucleotide probes to biotinylate nearby proteins. We show that DNA O-MAP can be coupled with label-free or sample multiplexed quantitative proteomics, targeted chemical perturbations, and next-generation sequencing to quantify DNA-proximal proteins and DNA-DNA interactions at specific genomic loci. Furthermore, we establish that DNA O-MAP is applicable to both repetitive and unique genomic loci of varying sizes, from kilobase HOX gene clusters to megabase alpha-satellite repeats, and that DNA O-MAP can measure proximal molecular effectors in a homolog-specific manner.
